Isn't she lovely

I'm a little giddy over these photos. :) My dear friend Hannah has the two most BEAUTIFUL girls.  Seriously.  If you know Brian and Hannah it's not hard to see where they get it from!  It was a complete joy and honor for me to be able to photograph the arrival of Elena Mae and just like her proud parents and big sister Savannah, I am so excited to share her arrival with you!  

Hannah asked me to help design Elena's birth announcement.  I thought it turned out really cute!  I love you guys and again, congratulations!!

Vintage Swim Shoot {Stone Harbor, NJ}

I'm kind of in love with anything vintage right now.  Several months ago, as I was dreaming about the Lewis annual beach vacation at Stone Harbor, NJ, I came across some ADORABLE vintage suits for my boys and the wheels started turning.  I had an absolute blast playing on the beach with my favorite little guys, and I'm really grateful for Jason Wellington (soon to be brother-in-law and a great photographer) for taking some priceless pictures of all of us.  

Before Justin left for Officer Training School in June, he made me promise I would take lots of pictures of the boys while he was gone.  Here's me keeping that promise.  J, we miss you tons and can't wait until you come home!!

Encore! Encore!

I know you are all DYING to see more pictures of this family!  I certainly can't get enough of them!!  So here is our encore: an English tea-party and garden concert.  One of the things I love most about Stephanie is her creativity and style!  I mean seriously...how adorable is this?!

Jayson and Aidan are wonderful violin students of mine.  I once asked Jayson what his favorite thing is about his violin.  Pausing only for a second, he excitedly stated, "Everything!"

Bravo!

"Give," said the little stream

"Give," said the little stream

"Give, oh give, give oh give,"

"Give," said the little stream as it hurried down the hill

Singing, singing all the day, "give away oh give away"

Singing, singing all the day, "give oh give away."

What an emotional post this has been for me.  This wonderful family is flying away tomorrow, and it's going to be so difficult to see them go.  We have shared so much with the Brewers- countless dinners, double dates, camping trips, play dates, lots and lots of smoothies... They have given us so much and I feel like I will always be indebted to them.  This family sure has a lot of love to give away and I'm just grateful we were lucky enough to partake of it!  

Some ecstatic news!!

So happy for you guys and your new adventure.  We can't wait to visit!!
