my family of four {newborn session}

This past Friday my dear friend, Tessa, of Grin & Share It Photography took our sweet little Brayden’s newborn photos. I have to admit that we almost didn’t take photos due to me being a negative nancy and  our financial situation. But, as usual the stars always align and we soon found ourselves sitting in her backyard studio being captured as a family of four. I know I always say it, but if you’re in the San Diego area or plan on coming here for vacation you need to book a session with her. I have worked with plenty of photographers over the years and she is the most professional, fun and engages herself so well with children to capture the best photos. I am so smitten with the photos she posted yesterday that looking at them brings tears to my eyes. I cannot thank Tessa enough for capturing our growing family yet once again. 

I had the vision of this hat the entire pregnancy. My Mom whipped it up for me the night we came home from the hospital and it couldn’t be any cuter! We will be adding these gnome hats to our etsy store in 2012! 

I purchased this gnome hat, another vision I had looked for and finally found from birdy bird boutique. She has really beautiful pieces and does auctions on her FB page if you’re looking for a great holiday gift, photo prop or shower gift. Venture on over to check out her amazing work, it’s not only quality handmade pieces but she shipped out my hat quicker than I had imagined which was great seeing as though Brayden arrived three weeks early! 

This photograph melts my heart and swells my eyes with happy tears. This is why we have children folks. 

My family is complete. 

proud big sister!
