Natalie Aundrea

On October 15, 2013 my life changed forever. After almost 9 months of waiting, our little girl is finally here!! Natalie Aundrea was born at 8:34pm last Tuesday. It was the most painful, exciting, intense, and gratifying experience I’ve ever had, if words can even describe it. To say she is perfect would be an understatement. I am completely in love with her!! There are times when I can hardly believe that she is mine. That I get to kiss her sweet head every day. That I get to play with her little fingers and toes. That I get to read to her and snuggle her and rock her to sleep at night…

She’ll be a week old tomorrow, which also blows my mind. I can’t believe she’s already been with us for 6 days! Time is absolutely flying. So I’ll be taking the rest of this month and all of November off from shooting in order to soak up this precious time with her, and I’ll resume again mid December. Thanks for your understanding! In the meantime, I promise I’ll try not to post TOO many pictures of her ;) But here are  a couple I took on Friday, just 3 days old. And on that note, I’m going to go snuggle with her again!

Carrisa – she is so beautiful! Wish we were closer so I could help spoil her! Congratulations – enjoy your time off, it will pass too quickly. May God continue to bless your family. Love you!

That little nugget!!! Please DO post too many pictures of her. I’m already trying to convince Alex to move to Park City to be closer! That may be a stretch, but for real, we’re in love via pictures. Love you! Can’t wait to see you & that beautiful blessing of yours next month for Thanksgiving :)
