Living hundreds (thousands?) of miles from our extended family really makes the time we do spend together so precious. We got to fly down to Florida this weekend to meet our new niece Lily and attend her baptism. Although we were tired and still a little jet-lagged from our Hawaiian excursion there was no way we were missing this! Little Lily is just about the sweetest thing ever – just ask Sarah. It’s a wonder Lily wasn’t smothered to death.
(Shameless sister plug: Lily wore a Gourmet Gown for her baptism, handmade especially for this occasion using her mama’s wedding dress fabric.)
Now for a media frenzy update. Sarah and I headed to Denver this morning to be on the channel 9 (kusa) morning show. Don’t laugh at me or my hand-talking during our 3 minutes and 9 seconds of fame: kusa. Check out my photo-a-day site to see Sarah in the anchor chair! Also, she was on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News today with a nice little story on the inside that you can read here. Tomorrow we head back to Denver for another morning show appearance, followed by the last one (for now!) on Thursday. Thanks for following along during all of the craziness!
Now to tie up some loose ends and questions…
Deb, I don’t use any studio lights and when I shoot a newborn on a background I use a large black piece of muslin or fleece. It takes some photoshopping afterwards but it works. My awesome friend Amy (LOVE her!) gave me a backdrop stand and backdrop for Christmas so I’ve started to use that a bit too.
Someone asked if we were actually moving to Fruita because I referenced that a few posts back. We’re actually moving to Hunstville, AL this summer but we occasionally dream of buying the Fruita brewery and setting up a commune with all of our friends (we can dream, right?!)
Christy, thank you SO much for your kind comment. Keira’s picture was GORGEOUS. I sure do wish we all could have headed to Hawaii…we could have taken over the island! How do your girls like the bear?
