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!
Ella is pure bliss. And what a gorgeous family 🙂
Katie…sometimes SD cards and Cameras are found. You should post here – https://www.facebook.com/Lost.and.Found.Cameras/ and any local lost and found pages for your town…you never know how nice people can be 😉
So precious! Beautifully done. Have to say, my favorite is with the four boys sitting with her.
Omg the ones with the boys and Ella!!!!! All.the.heart.eyes.
STUNNING
That last picture — all hearts! It brought tears to my eyes, it’s so sweet 🙂
Soooooo beautiful! These photos are treasures and captured your lovely family is such an artistic way!
I’m still holding out hope that someone will find and return your card! Maybe a local reader! (Without looking at the personal birth photos first!!! Wink 😉 ) Miracles happen! I’m waiting expectantly for that post!
XO
These pictures are just precious! All of your children are so beautiful/handsome! These need to be on your Christmas card…do people even send those still? LOL
Beautiful family! So glad you have these memories. My heart aches for your lost card (I backed up my photos that day after reading your post). Its hard to stay on top of things in our busy little worlds. You guys are doing great! *hugs*
Beautiful family. I think Ella is looking like Max in these pictures. Hopefully that card is found. I lost mine once and found it under a dresser. Kids had no idea how it got there.
You have such a beautiful family and are such an inspiration to me!
Your family is just gorgeous! The one of Ella in the purple is sooo sweet! And with her brothers! Just precious!! 🙂
These are so beautiful!
Katie, I can’t imagine how devastated you must be to have lost that card. I am praying that you find it/get it back soon!!!
Those are beautiful pictures of a beautiful family!
I love the ones with the boys especially the one where Max looks so serious. 🙂
Yes, so beautiful! Our son and his wife have five boys and one girl (who was number five) and it’s cray cray but wonderful cray cray. 🙂 God’s blessings on your wonderful family. What stories you’ll have to share all your lives.
So hard to pick a favorite. I think the one in purple – such a great contrast to her perfect pale skin.
My husband has some card that auto uploads our camera picture from our camera via wifi. That might be something to look into for the future. I hope your card turns up!
Oh my gosh, could those pics/kids be any cuter??? Loved the props your photographer used.
They are gorgeous! I especially love the one with the boys sitting with her. I hope you find your card. As a fellow photographer, I can appreciate the loss. Congratulations on your sweet baby girl.
Oh, Katie – they are absolutely precious!
Love the pictures with all the children together
OMG! That last picture with the boys & Ella…adorbs!
There oughta be a law against this kind of cuteness..so darn precious!
My goodness, she got the most beautiful shots! I love them 🙂
I have followed your blog/been obsessed with your sweet family for YEARS but have never commented. But O.M.G. these pictures!!!! The ones where the boys have their shirts off are everything. And you my dear are STUNNING!
All of your photography shot is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your best photography shot.
