This was summer of 2008 and it was Willow's first day at the beach. It was the first time she touched sand, or put her little feet in the ocean. Can you imagine? I am pretty sure she loved it. Look at that smile and LOOK at those feet!!!

Into this world, the most beautiful sweet little darling that any mother and father could ask for. This little darling stole their hearts and mine as well. Those beautiful blue eyes were peering into this world, hoping for all the best for her and everyone around her.
Ten fingers, Ten toes
She's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
She's sent to bless you
She's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.
Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
It's a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.
You are amazing and this baby is simply precious.

"Little Cooper is our little miracle" Dawn had mentioned to me. I thought I would share this session with you to spread some joy for this holiday season. Miracles are all around us especially this time of year. They happen every day in peoples lives, it is up to us to acknowledge and accept them as miracles. Just looking at the smile on Dawn & Robbie's face's when they introduced me to their little miracle, it was sheer joy and pride!
"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle."
Ohh so sweet! :) Makes me smile!
(12.07.09)WOW, i love the last picture. Amazing!!!

(12.09.09)Yes, I agree Cooper is beautiful and our little miracle. I guess I'm a little unbiase , as I'm one of Cooper's grandmothers. Rachel, your pictures of Cooper are beautiful Thank you for capturing all Cooper's expressions.
(12.09.09)I am Cooper's great Aunt, but I have yet to meet him, we left for the winter just after he was born, so to see these pictures of this beautiful baby is a great joy for us. He will bring great joy to his parents this season and many more to come, thanks.
(12.10.09)Cooper will see these again and again...first date, graduation, wedding day :)

I love doing maternity sessions outdoors because they can become much more exciting than in front of a cloth background. Of course having our beautiful island as a backdrop definitely helps! These were taken at Lakeside beach where a lot of my beach sessions are help. It was around 7 or 8 o'clock at night to capture that beautiful golden light.
Oh and if you seen the cute little baby that was on my Cans for Comments post, that is the new little son of Dawn & Robbie. Welcome to the world, Cooper MacNeill Bradley...born on October 29, 2009. I will be doing a bog post on little Cooper in the next few days as well.

The last time I had a visit with my sweet blue eyed Chlo Chlo, she started to take all of her shoes out of the drawer to show me. Of course I had my camera with me and thought this should be documented for later when she grows up and needs to see when her shoe obsession started.
Little Chloe has got to be the sweetest little girl in the world. She is very special and very loved!
