The absolute joy in the room when a baby takes a breath and gives his first cry is indescribable. Seeing mom’s and dad’s faces as they look upon their little miracle for the first time this side of the womb is my favorite thing. It’s part of why I love my job as a pediatric […]

The first birthday of your first child is so special. For each of my children it was a time of reflection. That first year brings so much growth not just in your sweet child but in yourself. It’s crazy to see your newborn who is dependent upon you for everything start rolling, sitting, crawling and […]

Reflecting back on maternity leave, it is a strange dichotomy of chaos and relaxation. As a pediatric resident, it has given me time to slow down. I am used to going going going until my head hits the pillow. However when you are nursing, you have to sit down every 2-3 hours and hold your […]

Palmer was over the moon excited about her new role as big sister. She told everyone that she ran into over the last week that she had a new baby sister.

You never know what you are going to get out of young men on a photo session. Lucky for me Christopher and Brent like competition. They competed for best smile throughout our session. For me it was too close to call so I’ll let you decide for yourself who the winner was. These boys listened […]

Fall comes with so many wonders. The cooler weather gives sweet relief from a blazing hot southern summer. The leaves begin to change colors and fall to the ground. The excitement of the coming holiday season begins to build. And the most amazing thing is watching these changes through the eyes of little children who […]
