Our First Family Photo Shoot

We were fortunate enough to be able to book a professional 'newborn' photo shoot with our girls while they are still so nice and tiny.  This past Saturday, Tami [of Tami Proffitt Photography] came to our house and endured a long five hours of directing while we all cheerfully obliged and let her take full reign of the photo shoot.  Both Eva and Zoë did very well on their first professional photo assignment.  Our girls are naturals and did not put up (too much of) a fight as they were molded into sweet poses, solo or together.  

As a new mom, I was overwhelmed with the joy I felt when I saw them peacefully resting, or cuddling, and it was then that I realized that we had not really taken the time to slow things down to simply enjoy their presence and aura.  Despite spending so much time with my beautiful girls, I fear I had started to take them for granted.  It really was a treat to see them so relaxed and know that the time we were spending together as a happy new family was being documented by such a talented professional photographer.

We invite you to take a sneak peek at Tami's photos, which she has posted on her blog.

The Nursery

The nursery has been finished for a while, but I finally found the time to photograph it and post the details on my decorating blog.  Check it out on Haute Decor Designs by Haydee Duarte.  Hope you like it!
