Hey... Hey Baby / Avni's Newborn

So this little one is coming up on six months old now (I know, I know, I am behind). But it has been so incredible to be a part of her life since day two. :) Over the past year I have been to the hospital to meet a handful of newborn babies, some of them only hours old, and marveled that the beginning of things in all those ways sentimental folks like myself do. How perfect, how fragile and how truly weird this whole process of giving life to something is.

These first few images are from one of those days. We were all gathered around in the hospital room, mom, dad, grandparents, family and even more loved ones. And there she was, just one day old little Avni, in my arms. My heart simultaneously leapt and ached for the world she had in front of her. And now I get to watch her grow (plus photograph her all along the way. hehe.).

Welcome to the world, Avni! You have grown into a truly beautiful little girl already.

And at just 10 days old Avni had her first full blown photo shoot in her home with lucky me. Just look at this doll. <3

About Caroline

I decided my destiny was to be an artist at age five when I won an honorable mention in a art competition in kindergarten. Ever since then I have been following a dream that has manifested itself in a variety of rewarding and delightful ways. I have practiced in the field of graphic design for over 8 years and recently acquired my Masters in Graphic Design at NC State University in Raleigh, NC (check out my design portfolio by clicking here if you like). But a passion that has stuck with me ever since I got my hands on my first Nikon camera in my undergraduate art education at Florida State University is photography. The instruction I received there was but a seed in what would develop over the next years of my life. Recently I have begun photographing people in their celebrations of life and could not feel any more blessed to be a part of capturing those memories.

About This Blog

A great american writer once wrote, "If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan my day." EB White penned the thoughts of my own heart. One part of me is a graphic designer working to challenge the world, seeking out problems and striving to create avenues for change. The other part is seeking out the beauties of the world and working to capture them in our memories forever through photography. This is what you will find here. Me enjoying the world. I have been truly fortunate to photograph such incredible people at truly beautiful moments in life. I can only hope that the images I've collected will forever keep alive those thoughts and emotions that swelled in their hearts and minds that day.
