Lula Marie : Rochester, NY Children's Photography

I just realized it's been a long time since I've shared any recent pictures of my favorite niece Lula (I can say she's my favorite since she's also my only niece). I'm not quite sure where the time has gone. It wasn't that long ago that I was holding her in the hospital for the first time marveling at this new life. Now she's a year and a half, running around the house, yelling my name "lelli", "delli" or whatever other version she can get out that doesn't require the 'k' sound, sharing her toys with me and reciting her numbers and colors. I of course am enamored by her.  Especially when I hear she's making requests to "watch Elmo with Aunt Kelli pleeeeeeeease!"  It doesn't get much more adorable than that, does it?  She's as sweet as she looks. I'm hoping she stays that way forever.



Until the next time...

One Week

Lula is one week old today. It's unbelievable how much she's changed already! We had a brief visit yesterday. She squirmed around a little bit, inspected my face as I held her, and mostly just napped. I spent some time starting at her, being fascinated by the purity of this new little person I held in my arms. Simply amazing. Here she is looking adorable and oh-so-sleepy!

Welcome to the World Lula!

Little Lula made her grand entrance, finally! She kept us waiting, arriving over a week late, but she was well worth the wait. Aside from her shriveled feet (from staying in the "oven" too long) she is beautiful from head to toe. The doctor said she's perfect. I snapped picture after picture but spent so much time at the hospital I've only pulled a few of my favorites of Lula's first 12 hours. I'll be sure to get more up asap so all of you out of towner's can get a good look at her.

Congratulations to Mike and Ali on the birth of their amazing little girl and best wishes for days filled with laughter and nights filled with good rest (you're gonna need it!)
love you all!

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice

Ali & Mike got the big news and drum roll please....it's a GIRL!!! They'll name her Lula. She will be adorable and sweet, but surely rambunctious as the doctor has shown surprise at how active she is already. We've been catching up monthly to document her ever changing figure. By August she'll have a complete collection of images from her pregnancy - beginning to end. Here's just two of our most recent session.

Feeling good, looking even better, and growing by the day...pregnancy is treating Ali well. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
