Things are finally settling down in Lindsay Land, and I feel like I’ll be able to get started on some projects soon. I may even be able to wade through my overflowing email inbox. I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Zack started Pre-K yesterday, and I was successful in getting he and Emma up and out the door so that he got to school on time. I totally patted myself on the back for that one. I can’t really expect that to happen ever again, since I could never actually get him to school on time before I had a newborn, but it’s the little victories that give me pleasure these days.
Speaking of the newborn, I wanted to share some photos that were shot by a super talented photographer here in Austin, Mollie Kendall. Mollie came to my house for the session, so I didn’t have to worry about getting anywhere on time. 🙂 These images are from when Emma was 6 days old, and they are just amazing.
This sweet little newborn tutu was made by Holly at Heartbreak Kids. How cute is that?
Mollie was also there for Emma’s birth, and put together a slideshow of the images which you can see here. I cry every time I watch it (and don’t worry, there’s nothing graphic!).
If you live in or around Central Texas (or know someone who does), I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Mollie Kendall Photography. Honestly, I cannot praise her work enough, and I wish she could just move in with me and capture the rest of our lives. Mollie is a baby whisperer, a class act, and has an incredibly natural ability behind the camera. She also photographs older children, families, and weddings.
I cannot wait to get the prints we ordered!
Ethan@OPC says
Wow! What great photos. Mollie is very talented but it doesn’t hurt that Emma is super cute!
Biz says

I would have never thought to have a photographer come with you to a child birth but those photos are sooooo precious & what a treasure to have. 😀 I loooooove the one of Emma in the tutu! She’s is completely precious & so beautiful! Blessings to you all! 😀

Kim says
What an awesome slideshow (and I love the song paired with it, too!). She’s going to have so much photographic history, it’s great.
Have to ask, though… is your baby in a trash can in that one pic? She’s THAT much of a not-nighttime-sleeper, huh? 😉
Congrats again!
