This week we had our favorite photographer David Lim come and take pictures of Clare. David’s work is known by blog followers (aka our mothers) since he took our maternity pictures and the pictures of Clare when she was a week old. David’s a weekend photographer, but his pictures are amazing. He’s also been a great friend to us – he and his wife Jennilyn are parents to two sweet little girls (Kadie and Violet – Clare’s birthday buddy) and they were the ones who introduced us to the Bradley Method for birth. Funny story, both Jenn and I were over a week past our due dates in July and were just sick and tired of being pregnant. We would call/text each other to offer moral support/commiserate. I texted her when I was going to be induced and she texted back that she was having regular contractions. A few (or maybe more then a few) hours later I texted her and said “I had a baby girl” and she said “me too!”
This picture is one of my favorites. This is a common expression of Clare’s – it’s her “figuring it out” look. In this picture she’s figuring out David’s camera and what exactly he’s doing.
