Babies arrive in all seasons, in all kinds of weather, and no matter what the skies are doing, they bring sunshine with them. Such is the case with little Adam Wittmann who joined big brother Noah and big sister Mary in January. I was utterly charmed with Noah and Mary during our photo shoot last spring, and felt no differently with Adam. This baby! Oh, he’s wonderful. See for yourself below. And give me a call if you’re interested in a newborn shoot in your home. I love capturing these *very* brief moments before they slip away.
Here’s a little peek into our in-town retreat last Saturday. It was a lovely, encouraging, restful and rich day as we spent time with God and each other. There was a lot I didn’t capture with my camera, but here’s what I did manage to preserve…
That’s it. My heart exploded looking through images from the photo session with little Adam Wittmann this morning. The latest addition to the Ryan & Meagan Wittmann family has absolutely stolen my heart and convinced me that I should only shoot newborn photos for the rest of my days.
Sigh.
This baby is wonderful.
I am charmed by this image and since it’s been a dry season for photography, I thought I’d post it here.
The shot accompanies Maralee’s words over at A Musing Maralee. Take a look!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light,
Radiant beams from
Thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
I’m so grateful for a Christmas Eve Service that takes us out of the hustle and bustle of the present-prep and cookie-baking to let us pause and think about Jesus’ birth.
After the Christmas Eve Service at Redeemer I left my camera at my in-laws’ house, thus the lateness in posting my DPPs.

“Oh wait!”
“What?”
“I need to get a shot of you.”
“Okay. I’m gonna play the piano.”
“Sounds good to me.”

Sometimes it’s hard to study the bible when eyes like these are looking in your direction. And don’t get me started on this boy’s cheeks! He is scrumptious. This morning he was alert and in the mood to chat. Swoon. Sarah and Jordan sure make beautiful children.

December Photo Project, day 7.
Sometimes the right place to shoot your DPP is in the entry to your favorite little Japanese restaurant and there’s only room for one parent to sit. Let’s just say Mom dodged a bullet today and Dad took his seat in the spotlight. Happily full of udon soup and sushi, we got the shot and walked out into the warm sunshine-y December afternoon.
December Photo Project, day four.
My mom is such a good sport! And she’s so pretty, too. I was dropping all my crafty items on the floor in a rush to whip out my camera while she was walking towards me at JoAnn’s Fabrics today. And then the cashier commented on my activity, so really, I was the opposite of discreet. But I snapped one shot and I love it. DPP on a sunny Friday. Check and check.
