I met Jennifer back in elementary school – when we cool kids were riding the BUS to school. Holla!
She was a year younger than me in school, but we grew up down the street, danced together, cheered together, went to school together and have been in each other’s lives here and there since high school.
Jennifer is a VERY TALENTED artist and creates delightful and stunning paper goods through her company MEMENTO-DESIGNS!
(please ck out her dreamy and romantic work)
We were both THRILLED she was having a girl, because being the {not afraid to get her hands dirty and work hard, but} girly girl that she is… she wanted to have princess to dote on!
The nursery is fit for such a baby princess… complete with tea cups and saucers, vintage books, a white branch tree full of floral bows, antique plates hung on the wall and is a beautiful soft space for baby Tara to play make believe, tip toe around and snuggle up with mama.
Tara was about two weeks old or so (and still itty bitty) when we photographed her, but was slightly upset with me… trying to photograph her (though you cannot tell). 🙂
She surely wanted to be snuggled up in mama’s arms rather than posing in her first photo session!
Enjoy this beautiful, dreamy and romantic session.
.love.
(notice the photos of baby girl wrapped up in a bundle on Mama’s STUNNING wedding gown)
