Newborn Pics

 So, remember the photographer that stood me up for the maternity shoot? The one that offered a free shoot to make it up? Yeah, her. Well, I emailed her the day he was born to cancel our shoot. Which was noble, considering I had contemplated just letting her wait for us to never show. But I had hoped she could do his newborn pictures. She never replied, though. No congratulations, nothing. Nope. Not getting my business. 

Eventually, when we got home with Luke and settled, I tried to find some newborn photographers. They were all booked out like 6 weeks! Really?! How do you book out like that with newborns? The available ones were way too expensive for a momma that had been out of work for 4 months, so I improvised. Borrowed my mom's Canon Rebel, then took & edited his newborn photos myself! I think they turned out ok for such a novice.

A friend sent me this necklace. There is a blue bead for Lexi's birthstone, and a clear bead for Luke's birthstone. The L simultaneously represents both of my babies. My friend is the pearl to me, as she is obviously a rare gem.
