the pleasure was all mine today as i was privileged to take the first shots of little newbie, skye rose. i’ll never forget the first time i met her mommy…we sat next to each other at an event, talked for hours about how the two of us loved babies and how we couldn’t wait to have our own…and since then, we have been forever friends.
and, oh how this mommy loves her baby. the second picture gives me chills…so much love. so much love.

welcome to the world, newbie. we’ll teach you all you need to know.
…enjoying the baby things. ~k









Love, Love, Love the pictures!!!! She is so gorgeous and Kelle you captured her cute little personality perfectly. She is heaven and a true gift from God. Miss her and you guys so much!!!
Breathless…you leave me breathless. I have decided, people should have babies if for no other reason than to be photographed by you. What a precious little girl. Is there something about the water down there…is there no testosterone in Collier County? All these babies are girly girls…Thank God for Brandyn, Austyn and their buds…the boys there are lucky, there is quite a pool of pretties to pick from someday!
OK, she is just “curl-your-toes” happy…look at the feet foto…her right big toe is curled so you almost can’t see it…her heart knows bliss, just bliss. She is big skye content! (Now if Kelle writes me back and says, “Dad, she was missing her right big toe”, I am really going to feel like a schmuck!)
dad took my comment…I was going to say breathless.
these are the BOMB. I think I like the last one the best. I love Steph’s face as she snuggles her baby.
Ok woman…NOW YOU MADE ME CRY!!!! I love the gift from God pics…I’m so touched!
Beautiful pictures…gorgeous, perfect baby Skye!
I love the one of Steph cradling her in her arms…you can FEEL the love they share.
Amazing.
Looking at them again and dying to hold her. My mom said she sees a lot of you, Steph, in her!!!!! She is absolutely beautiful and I can’t say it again Kelle, you are amazing!!
So…I am still in the process of reading every one of your posts, starting from the beginning. Of course, I obviously enjoy them all, and the pictures all inspire me, but the second picture in this post actually made me cry. Like, instant, tears rushing down face, cry. Powerful. 🙂
