The last week has been a gift of sunny days wrapped with brand new daffodils and forsythia. Gwen and I have gotten out often and we LOVE it! Spring, you are so wonderful! Summer, we are racing to meet you!

March Birthdays
In my family there are 3 March birthdays. I had the bright idea to marry into a family with 3 more March birthdays... and this doesn't count my or my husband's extended family which would add another 4 or 5. So the third month of each year is known as March Madness. Gwendolyn was born in September much to the delight of my calendar which could bear no more ink on the March page. But her half-birthday is in March... so she can continue to be part of the family.
I can't believe my sweet little baby is half way through her first year. The time has past so quickly. She is doing amazingly well adjusting to the world. She is happy about everything, always laughing and smiling. Gwen is a delightful baby and has reached so many milestones already! I am so looking forward to the second half of her first year. The major milestones yet to come: teething, which she has just started--or so says the bump on her gum, crawling, walking, eating solids, and talking--the one I am most excited about. Here is documentation of her first half-birthday:

Sleep or the Lack-There-Of
Now that Gwen is at the ripe old age of (almost) 6 months we (her parents) have decided to help her learn to get herself to sleep. Who knew this could be such hard knowledge to acquire? Just shut your eyes, lay still, and sleep! This goal of self-soothing to sleep is especially important at nap time. Since she cat-naps I had been spending all day coaxing her to sleep, at least that is what it felt like. So for each of her 4 naps I need her to just go to sleep in her crib by herself so I can get SOMETHING done around this place, dinner for instance. So far it has been a hard process but we are making great headway. She is learning the cues that mean Naptime and for the most part she is going down much more easily than previously. Yay, Gwen. Keep up the good work. Now for some photos that make it hard to believe this kid could ever be exasperating.
Here is a photo series of Gwen waking up. An adorable practice which dispels any exasperation immediately.

Photo Booth Charm
I have always had a fascination with photo booths and the cute series of photos that result from the quick succession of flashes. The other day there was some lovely winter sunshine streaming in through the bedroom window to where I was playing with Gwen. I took a couple of fast snaps and this is the result. I could look at her sweet expressions all day. These photos are quintessential Gwen, happy and pretending-to-be-bashful.

Gwendolyn
I have been really neglecting this little blog. My daughter is 5 months old now. She is a wiggly, joyous baby and we love her to bits. Here is a photos of her so you can see just how darling she is.

Spring is coming out all over in vibrant colors and delicate blossoms. I love the celebration nature throws when winter recedes.

sale?
I saw this delightful store front on my way to shoot a wedding last September and chuckled again when I found it in an album of miscellaneous photos recently. I wonder what they meant to get a across with all the question marks. Were they confused themselves? Or were they using people's curiosity to get them into the store to see if there was a sale? The world may never know.

Business, casually.
Does this remind anyone else of Elvis? Avnish is an awesome guy! I shot some photos of him in various states of awesome style for his upcoming business. I do have to say that the gold jacket was by far my favorite of his accessories.

These two are engaged! This photo was taken just a week or so before Matt popped the question. Now I can't wait to take some photos of the very official couple! :) Congrats, guys.

I love happy endings.
Katy & Jason's photos are in the mail and as I look through the edits I can't help but love all the candids! Katy didn't stop smiling the whole day. Her bridesmaids laughed and made Katy laugh constantly and that is a recipe for some great photos. This one is my favorite of the day. It evokes the general happiness of her day.
Create your own fabric?
MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE!!! I love working with beautiful fabrics but occasionally I have a hard time finding the right colors. NO MORE! I have found spoonflower.com which allows anyone to upload their images or designs to be printed on fabric. WOW!

Fall Weddings
I love autumn! Living in a place with seasons after a long hiatus has made me very thankful for autumn and winter. This year I had a couple of weddings in all the glorious color and here are my two favorite outside photos:
