Today’s tidbit: “A new baby is like the beginning of all things — wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.” — Eda J. Le Shan

In my last July recap blog post I was planning to do a full post on my improptu photo shoot in Old Town Alexandria next but plans changed, look for that later this week! Do you remember Ayn’s surprise maternity session that was on the blog less than 2 weeks ago? Ayn welcomed baby Amelia to the world last Tuesday, 7/30/13 and was able to go home on Friday. Yesterday I was lucky enough to go see Ayn and meet Amelia. Of course I had my camera, so what better way to start off your Monday than with some adorable newborn pictures?! She is only 5 days old in these!

She is such a good baby! There was a lot of family around but Amelia just slept like an angel. She could care less (and probably has no idea) how many people were admiring her as she was held and passed around. She was very sleepy, but I was able to get a few pictures of her eyes open. I think she is going to be a night owl like her mom (but then what designer isn’t?).

The liddo one, with the card I made 🙂

How cute is this?!

Ayn and her mom, so sweet. You could just see the emotion, love and joy!

Trying so hard to stay awake but sleeping won.

So precious! Ayn has so much love and support around her and will no doubt be a wonderful mom! I can’t wait to watch her grow and see the personality come out. Looking forward to doing a photo shoot with them when Amelia gets a little older!
