Leah Alizabeth Burkholder

I'm so excited to share this new little bundle of joy with you !! A vintage blanket for a backdrop, an old chest, a wooden bowl, adorable headband and a baby blanket + 1 super cute baby = AMAZING birth announcement ! This has to be one of my fav. birth announcements.

She is joining a family of girls - 4 of them now !! What fun these sisters will have as they grow up ! I was the oldest of 7 children and the only girl, but now that my brothers are married I have lots of  "sisters" to share fun adventures like tea parties with !

I must tell you that I can not take the credit for these props ! Leah's mom had eveything plan out before she was born - gathering togther pieces to create the look she had in mind and it turned out soo beautiful !

Leah's big sisters - Meagan, Ellie & Abby

I had to take a picture of all Leah's hair ! I love how it curls down over her top.

 So tiny & precious

I love tiny baby feet !

What I'm working on today !

I'm having fun editing this session and imagining the cute christmas cards we'll be able to make ! On a whim I took along a few christmas props for their mini session and boy, was I thrilled when I seen them dressed in Christmas colors ! These pictures were taken at the Conrad Weiser Homestead, where I did a day of mini sessions.

Joyce, there are lots more great pictures for you to choose from coming up later today ! As for now I need to prepare for a fun session involving old furniture, antique quilts and light fixtures hanging from trees !!! Can't wait !

Mmmm !!!

How I started my morning !!  Mmmm French Vanilla Cappacino made by Amanda. As she handed it to me, she said "I may have used a little too much cool whip " =)  I told her I'm not sure that's possible. I hope you all have a great day ! I plan to edit sessions and design cards ! Oh, and when I need a break I plan to take pictures of my fall decorations to share with you !

Blessings, Esther

What to wear !

  



   I get asked this question all the time, so when I found these guides I knew I had to share them !

I'm not saying you need these clothes exactly  -  I just liked the color & pattern combinations!  I also found a site with more combo's if you need more inspiration -
