baby posts to keep the crickets from chirping too loudly around here.\u00a0 Needless to say, I didn&#8217;t do such a good job.\u00a0 I&#8217;m trying to be a better blogger, though, and since my two month break from shooting officially ends this weekend, that won&#8217;t be hard!\u00a0 But before I get back to posting sneak peeks, here are some of the things I&#8217;ve been meaning to share!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Prior to Ellie&#8217;s birth, I got a little crazy with the projects.\u00a0 Nothing keeps a woman from sitting around waiting for a baby like some good old fashioned projects!\u00a0 Here are a few of my faves:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3613\"

style=\"text-align: center;\">Some of you know that before I was a photographer, I was a scrapbooker.\u00a0 (I somehow manage to turn all my hobbies into jobs.)\u00a0 So for Will&#8217;s early days and my pregnancy with him he has all of these amazing scrapbook layouts.\u00a0 I knew that Ellie wasn&#8217;t going to have that, so I got her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/ednamae?ga_search_query=edna+mae&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=&amp;includes[0]=tags&amp;includes[1]=title\" target=\"_blank\">this baby book from etsy<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 I got all of the extra packs so that I could fill the book with journaling and photos and she&#8217;d have it just as good as Will, just in a more time friendly format!\u00a0 I <strong>love<\/strong> this baby book and highly recommend it.\u00a0 I keep it handy on my desk with a pen and have been jotting down little memories as they came up since the very early days of the pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3623\" title=\"babyphotographer\"

brides deciding on their flushmount album covers, this is the rothschild cover and it is such a cool purple.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t even like purple and I totally adore this cover.)<\/p>\n<p
