It read “Your Gallery is Ready!” and I was so excited.  I had contacted Crystal last minute and begged her to do Ella’s newborn photos.  At the time, I just didn’t feel up to the task….my body was a wreck…it hurt so bad just thinking about getting on the floor to do Ella’s pictures.  So right after my sweet girl’s arrival, I made a quick call arranging for Crystal to take pictures in her new studio and it just made sense.  I almost had forgotten about them with the distraction of searching for the lost card.  The lost card with all my work and all the pictures of her birth and the pictures I had taken those first few weeks of life.  So imagine how emotional I was when I looked in my personal email account and remembered the gallery.  I had looked over the pictures briefly before the lost card….but now….now with the loss still fresh on my heart, those photos took on all new worth.  They became infinitely more valuable.

Sooo without further adieu, I am so excited to share with you the newborn photos of my sweet Ella Violet taken by the gorgeous girl over at Crystal Barbee Photography…..

p.s.  Our new website is launching soon!  Be on the lookout for that!  Also – I’m trying hard to make sure I put up a blog post everyday.  If I learned anything from the lost card….it’s that if it makes it to the blog, the photos are copied multiple times….so I should post ALL the things 🙂  Check back with me at 10am each morning to see our adventures!
