The Brothers Family

{April} I think this April goes down in history as the best April ever. It's been an epic month for sure. 

Here are a few highlights from our first week home together. True it's taking some adjusting (I forget so many things about life with a newborn!) but everyone is doing so great and it feels good to have the whole family all here. Soaking it in and trying to savor it each day. More love than my heart can hold.  She's so tiny in his arms. This is what a happy Easter morning looks like in our house.  A boy in jammies with trains and eggs.  My favorite shot from the brief photo session I did with my kids.  This one is going on the wall. Snuggling with her daddy. He loves her SO much. 

Alice Olivia Brothers Arrived on 4/14/14 Born at 8:13 am 5 lbs 8 oz 18 1/2" long wonderfully perfect. A tiny little beauty. Brand new. The hospital hat was too big on her tiny head. 1 day old Going home from the hospital in sunshine yellow.  Alice arrived on Monday! She is a tiny little peanut but she is healthy and absolutely perfect. She has a strong voice and thinks she already wants to hold her head up and look around. Her doctor calls her "small but mighty." Julian loves her so much. He wasn't quite sure about her when he first came to visit us in the hospital but I think he was more distracted by the hospital and commotion than anything. He's really happy to have her home with us now and wants to keep tabs on her wherever she goes. We are so totally in love with her and are really thankful to have her in our arms. 

I've been working on a really fun project this year. I call it the 52 Week Project. The point of it is to consciously hop in a photo with my kid(s) each week - whether it's a candid or a posed photo - and at the end of the year, we will have an entire year of photos with me included in them. As the mama and a photographer, I am almost always the one behind the lens. In looking back over the first year or two with Julian, I don't have as many photos with him as I'd like. So I decided to make it a project. And I am so in love with what I'm seeing. They are truly becoming treasures and I can't wait to do a huge compilation print of them at the end. Memories that are true gems documenting a year when we go from 3 to 4. {January} I post one photo a week (so far usually on Fridays) on my personal Facebook page, as well as on Instagram. I am posting them once a month on my photography blog . (Click on "blog" on my photography blog to see all my posts i
