Because they are only small for like a day

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. I MAY EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES.

This third one…she’s going to be either a) my biggest troublemaker or b) my calm, cool and collected go with the flow one. It’s still up in the air.

But, either way, she’s not going to be tiny forever. In fact, at the doctor just this week, she was already 10 pounds with clothes on! Our oldest was only 13 pounds at 6 months!

Because they only stay small for like the blink of an eye, I jump at pretty much any chance for an awesome photographer to capture her smallness (everybody does a better job than me!). Plus, everybody captures them in their own unique way. I love seeing my girls through another person’s eyes.

So when Atlanta area family photographer Kate T. Parker contacted me to snap some pictures of my girly girls, I had to say yes. Especially after I looked at her portfolio of newborn pictures and more. They are so unique and different than what I had seen before. I’ll let the pictures do the talking…well, I have to say a little. These are all natural light in my house. The same house that I have the worst time getting pictures with natural light without them being super yellow.

See my sweet baby girl? Sleeping with her mouth all open? We call that “catching flies.” Fortunately, she hasn’t caught any yet.

And, these three? Totally got all of their personalities. #1 sort of in the moment, but distracted by something. #2 messing with her baby sister and totally engulfed in her. #3 not too happy that they are messing with her.

Sweet newborn sleep. All by herself. Looking oh, so tiny.

A moment captured snuggling with mommy. Just me and my littlest.

And, this one. Kills me. So big. So grown up. How did she get here…and those freckles and that gap. Totally a mini-me.

And, number 2? Showing off her bed. She sure likes people to know about it…why can’t she go to sleep in it without yelling for us to get her something every two seconds?

Calming. Shushing. Drifting.

This makes my house look so glamourous. I assure you, it isn’t! Look at that hand flipped out, just so. Miss Personality.

Oh, the squished up, cuddliness that is newborn. I swear she’s already a million times bigger than this picture.

These tiny feet. Ten perfect toes. So very, very very blessed.

Check out kate t. parker photography. If you participate in the I <3 Faces challenges, you’ve probably seen some of her work…and seen that she’s won a couple times, too.

Kate captured our girls just being…she followed the older ones around the house and let them give her a tour of their room and just snapped away. I couldn’t be happier.

I’m linking up here.  Go and visit their Wordful and Wordless Wednesdays.

    1. Thanks, Emily! Yes, having them at home is a million times better. No other screaming kids and everybody is comfortable and just more, well, “them!”

  8. I just love her perspective. These photos are simply beautiful. And yes, where did the big girl (Izzy) come from? It always puts it into perspective when a new baby comes along, how big the other children have gotten!!

    1. I love seeing my girls from another perspective. I never would do these angles.

      They seriously grew overnight!

  9. Amazing. Beautiful. Precious. I could go on! Congratulations again 🙂

    Izzy reminds me of you and your mom in the pictures. Great shots!

    1. Thanks! We think they are pretty cute, too, and she really captured them being “them”.

  11. She’s so tiny! I know I don’t have to tell you to soak up these tiny moments, since they are so fleeting!

  12. you are going to need to get a bigger house with more wall space.

    seriously these are amazing.

    1. I had to cover up some pictures..it kills me…but you are right, we don’t have the wall space!

  13. These pictures are great!! I love the one of her on the bed all by herself!! Great shot! They do only stay tiny for a short time:(

    1. My sister says she looks “lonely” but I think it captures how tiny she is!

  14. Congratulations! My #3 is due in June and I am thinking she’s going to be wild and crazy like #2 given her activities in utero.

    1. All three of ours are wild and crazy, too! Congrats on your #3:)
