I Take Pictures///Hero On Film

Tristan

My old 35 mm Minolta needed to be brought out for little nephew, Hero (his real name is Tristan, but he came out like a super hero with one arm outstretch - instant nick name). I took some shots in the dim afternoon light of their hospital room.  Grainy love.

The beautiful new family.

Baja Baby///

I'm totally a hippie at heart. I want to dress my sister's new baby in this, skinny jean and some baby mocs from Freshly Picked.

Bebe Trunks

Yesterday's sun has already turned to today's rain. But that doesn't mean I'm not still having fantasies about spending hot summer days with my new nephew. 

How sweet are these little striped swim trunks from Zara. Perfect for little bebe boy bum.

Belly Shots

A beautiful series by photographer Ryan Marshall of his wife's growing baby belly. I noticed them first on the blog A CUP OF JO. One can see even more of his series, complete with sentimental notes sitting to the right of each set of photos on his blog. Go away baby fever go away!
