Dear Lily,

I have been waiting for you for some time now …  I photographed you in your  mama’s belly when you were still a small little peanut.   When you arrived, your mama was so excited  she emailed me that night with a photo and description of how absolutely beautiful you are!  When I arrived at your home I immediately felt the love that surrounds you.   My life is forever changed for having the opportunity to meet you, hold you, and capture your delicate beauty.

On a lovely little side note, you share a birthday with sweet little Emme, who is also on this blog.  Both of you were born fast, in the same hospital, and almost at the same time.   🙂
