A neighbor of ours has the most enviable row of peony bushes in his yard. I slow down and stare at them almost every time I drive by. I want to dig them up and transplant them to our yard in the middle of the night.
I just love them. They are easily one of my favorite flowers. They are also my Mom’s favorite flower, so that’s another reason to love them—they remind me of her.
For the past few months, I’ve been craving a lens. A 50mm prime lens.
Then I bought it.
It is amazing. I love it.
I love how low the f-stop goes, letting in all that lovely light. I love the shallow depth of field it gives my pictures. I love it. It makes me giddy. It makes me want to shoot.
So, when we had dinner with my in-laws the other day, I couldn’t help myself. I saw all that fresh meat, i.e., children other than my own willing to have their pictures taken, and I just started shooting. When all was said and done, I got all of them but one. Where did you go, Dale?

Did I mention that I love this new lens? Cause I do.
Our friends just had their fourth baby and they were kind enough to let me come take some pictures of this sweet baby girl.
Baby Elle came into this world on her own terms and according to her schedule. You should read about how it happened. It’s crazy and amazing. It’s cramazing and amazy.
At nine (or ten?) days old she was very much awake and alert.
Who doesn’t love a pair of baby feet? But not on their own because that’s sick and wrong.
Her tiny features are so pretty and delicate.
I just love her.
Thanks Jenny and David! She certainly made a statement with her birth, I think that this girl is gonna go places.
So a good friend of mine just had a baby girl. Ruby. Isn’t that just the most adorable name? Well, the name fits this precious little girl.
I can honestly say that she is a beautiful newborn.
She has so much hair and long eyelashes, not to mention the most perfect little mouth.
Can you tell she’s not a big fan of being swaddled?
After awhile, big brother woke up from his nap and came downstairs to reclaim his territory (from me mostly).
I think Ruby will have him wrapped around her cute little finger in no time.
Thanks for sharing her with me Kelly!
