Caroline's Newborn Photos

A couple weeks after Caroline was born, my friend Bethany McGhehey took the most lovely photos of her. I knew that I wanted Bethany to shoot her newborn pics because she has such a refreshingly simple and clean style to her photos.

Captured were back rolls, full cheeks, a perfect set of puffy bow-shaped lips and a head of chocolate-colored hair. Nothing forced or overly posed about it, as if she just happened to catch a moment in time.

I wept as I flipped through them. My baby girl, growing every day, each faster than the next.

I've found myself wanting to relive the day she was born, as well as those first few weeks, over and over again. To smell her and touch her porcelain skin for the first time; the same little being that shared my body for nine wondrous months.

In looking at these photos, I'm able to do just that.

  2. Looking back at the newborn pictures is so bittersweet, is it not? I love looking at Caleb's and remembering just how tiny he was. But at the same time, it makes me SO nostalgic for the very first days we spent together as a new momma with her firstborn child. I tear up just thinking about it. At seven months old now, he is far from being the tiny little newborn that slept all the time. He is already into everything and I know it will only get crazier as he gets more and more mobile!!! I'm sure you feel the same way about Caroline!:)

  4. I don't think there is anything more peaceful, joyous, or beautiful than pictures of a newborn baby. They all truly look like angels on earth.

    She is gorgeous!

  5. Oh my gosh! She's grown so much already but these pictures...I mean these aren't just for you. They'll be heirlooms for her and her children (and you'll be a Nonna, ha). So special and lovely.
