Hard not to love a tiny baby newborn and his tiny baby newborn photos! Emily and Don, whose wedding I photographed three years ago, recently welcomed Don the III into the world. What a sweet, cute, tiny baby newborn he is, too! It was great seeing Baby Donny’s parents again and I’m so happy they invited me over to photograph him as part of my Real Life Forever portrait program.
I’ll quit gabbing now so you can look at some pictures.

It’s no secret that I love a picture that tells a story. When I can sum up a neat little story all in one image, it makes my eyeballs happy. In the following picture, the wedding party and I headed to Katherine and Chris‘ favorite ice cream shop for some treats after the ceremony. Katherine’s maid of honor kept trying to get Katherine to wear a poncho while eating her purple ice cream, but Katherine refused. By the time Katherine got to the end of the checkout line, a drop of the raspberry ice cream had plopped from the cone right onto her dress.
The story I love in this picture is the bridesmaid blurry in the foreground munching her ice cream and the other girls around Katherine trying to remove the ice cream from her dress. To me, it’s the perfect set of contents to tell a great story.
The final week of weaving coincided perfectly with finishing my two rag rugs. The final rug weaving went quickly; it was just “leftover” anyway – leftover warp, leftover green rag – the latter of which I ran out of after about 18 inches.
Cutting the whole thing off the loom left the final task of doing the fringe.
After I said my goodbyes and cleaned up around my loom, I walked to my car with my rugs tucked under my arm and felt sad, almost like I might cry. Kind of like the last day of school, with summer looming ahead of me and another round of classes off in the distance.
The finished large piece:
