The last in a string of adorable newborn photos! Also my last photoshoot for the indefinite future, which is kind of exciting. Photography has been such a blessing and a joy over the past years, but I’m slashing and burning commitments to make room for changes to our lives and schedules. It was so fun to end on this note, with Leah and her family, as I have been photographing her sister Clara since she was born. Welcome to the world Leah Isabelle!

Lately, on Instagram
I recently pried an entire scoop of mud and 2 rocks from Etta’s mouth but girlfriend will not tolerate a single bite of ANY fruit. She acts like strawberries are straight poison, but recently downed 3 tacos that the rest of us deemed too spicy. She loves broccoli, hates blueberries. One thing I have learned as a parent: you cannot make a child eat. So about a year ago, I stopped fighting meal battles. I choose what to offer and when, they choose what to eat and how much. That’s it. Don’t like dinner? Get comfy till breakfast. And you know what? When I stop fighting, they stop resisting, and we all eat better. Because here’s the thing: I would eat exclusively tacos if I could, and I also only like my drink in one specific cup. I get it, the pickiness. Learning to eat is part of learning to live, and when I recognized that my job is about forming and responding to habits and tastes, instead of forcing the right number of calories in- it is so freeing. I do not always have a healthy relationship with food, and I desperately want that for my kids. What are the parenting battles that you find it better (not to be confused with easier!), not to fight?

Beautiful- wonderful- joyful 💓💓
You take gorgeous photos of gorgeous babies… It makes me broody for another. Newborns are so delightful and they all make the same faces (I call it the newborn face loop). Enjoy the arrival of your son when he comes. X
