Welcome Amelia- A Birth Story
While planning our trip to Joshua Tree National Park, I may have picked out an outfit for Amelia so that I could take some styled photos of her while we were there. Amelia loves a pretty dress and some bubble gum, so that part was taken care of. I waited until she was properly fed after lunch, changed her clothes, and told the boys I just needed 15 mins to shoot a few pictures. High noon isn’t my ideal time to shoot, but I took what I could get, and I must say, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome!







How could I possibly end this post without sharing at least one photo of Amelia’s new favorite pose? Lord knows I discarded plenty of them! So here’s one to make her happy. ✌???? I’m pretty sure onlookers had a good laugh at me continuously saying, “Amelia, put your hands down!”

And that’s a wrap!
