This is Tate. He is exceptionally cute, don’t you think? Of course, I may be a little biased….Tate belongs to my cousin Andrew, and his wife, Juliann. I was in Arizona this weekend to meet the newest addition to their family. I drove 6 hours for this session, and didn’t even charge them my travel fee. See? I can be nice sometimes. I just don’t want people to get too used to it. 
Tate is just as cute with his eyes open.
This is my cousin, Andrew. We used to play GI Joe and Legos together. Now he is a dad. Of three. That seems like it will be keeping him pretty busy….I wonder if I can have his Legos.
Juliann, looking beautiful, as always. She was more put together just days after having a baby, than I am on any given day, right now. I would be more annoyed by that, if she weren’t so sweet.
Tate is not the only cute kid Andrew and Juliann have….. Just look at Shiloh and Ryder. (Yes, they are all wearing AC/DC shirts)
Andrew and Juliann, it was awesome seeing you all, and meeting Tate. Thank you for letting me hang out with you guys. May there be many synchronized naps in your immediate future.

Does that look like a woman that is only two days away from her due date? Look at her hair…her makeup…her smile. I am fairly certain that I looked like a gigantic, angry hobo two days before my due date. In fact, I know I did, because my baby shower was just 6 days before my daughter was born, and that is when the only picture of me during my entire pregnancy was taken…..against my will. And I was in nowhere near as nice of a mood as Lourdes.
So, she was actually due yesterday……And as much as I want Jorge and Lourdes to see this sneak peek, I am hoping that they are at the hospital, meeting their new baby boy. And I can not wait to meet him myself, when I see them all together in a few weeks. So excited.
Do you see that sweet little boy? The last time I saw him, he looked like this…
He is still just as cute, and is going to be an awesome big brother.

So, I wasn’t exactly sitting around doing nothing in the little break I took from sessions. Some of you may be familiar with the photo essay project that I have been working on with Lynsey Peterson, for the last year, called Notes Girls Write. Well…..Notes Girls Write is now a BOOK! Getting it into book format was not the easiest task on the planet….making a book is hard work? Who knew? But…it is done…it is available for sale, and it is entered in a photobook contest. Wheeeee!It is full of amazing girls, of all ages, that have been gracious enough to share a piece of themselves for the project. There are not only images, but back stories for many of the notes, as well. I am so, so proud of it, and I am very excited to be able to share it with you. The book can be seen, in it’s entirety, online, by clicking on the widget below. It will only be available that way for a limited time, so go check it out now. If you would like to purchase a copy, there is a link to do so in the book preview. Notes Girls Write is still an on-going project, so if you think you would like to share a note, please send me an email.
I also have a little favor to ask. Part of the contest that we are in, is the People’s Choice award. The winner is the book that has received the most votes, by..well…..the people, of course. And the people, is YOU. So, I would be ever so grateful, if you would take a minute to register and vote for the Notes Girls Write book. It is not the easiest process ever, but it is not too bad. If you go to the link for our book, and then click on the “Vote for this book” button, it will ask you to provide an email address. They will then ask you to verify your email address by clicking the link in an email that they send you. A bit of a pain, I know, but relatively quick, and it keeps the competition fair. They just want to make sure you are a REAL person, casting a REAL vote. So, if you like the project, and you like the book, your vote would be awesome.
