Yep, more pictures of my daughter. I know I said I wouldn’t be posting much, but I am taking way too many pictures these days. Since I don’t think wallpapering my house with pictures of B and her brothers is a great idea, I will share them here. What can I say, I am having fun with a newborn. There are benefits of photographing your own newborn verses a client’s. First, you can pick the best time for the baby and the light. Second, you have tons of time and don’t have to leave. However, the downfall is you have to be fast so as to avoid the big brothers that want in every pictures too. I love this first picture. She by far has the darkest hair of any of our kids. I hope it stays dark…like her daddy’s.
Yes, she does open her eyes….mainly between the hours of 9pm-12am….
She did “break in” the quilt her great-grandma made during these pictures (if you know what I mean).
And here’s a few of what was really happening between all the sweet photos above:
Don’t you just want to smother her in kisses…I do. I pretty much never put her down. She is either in my arms or in my baby wrap – I don’t think you can hold a newborn too much. I don’t mind if she needs to be held to fall asleep. These days will pass all too quickly and I just can’t get enough of her sweet smelling self.
My 15 month old’s hands gained about a pound each in the last week…

Christine - Found you on Ooh Dee Doh. Beautiful website! I adore the quilt your grandmother made! Any chance you can relay where she got all the gorgeous fabric? Many thanks…
ashlee - so darn sweet!! i agree that the time passes so quickly so hold her as much as you can:)
wendy - She is adorably beautifully sweet! Congratulations!
Leigh Ann - Ashley, congrats. I missed two weeks of posts and wow your baby girl arrived. I’m so happy for you guys.She’s a doll and that name is P.E.R.F.E.C.T. Love it.
Kenna S - Breese is so precious. She makes me realize how much my little Kate has grown in the past 5 1/2 months. Seeing pics of her already makes me want another newborn to cuddle and hold. That time is so very precious and so very fleeting. So hold her as much as you can and take in that sweet newborn smell! I always say that someone should learn how to bottle their sweet smell.
Lisa Keen - those pictures are great! They remind me of Kolbi trying to attack her baby sister! Gotta be quick
stephanie - Love the picture where your youngest boy was giving her a kiss on the head.
Babies are absolutely precious, and my heart is actually aching a little bit because I miss my baby being a newborn…she just turned 7 months.
Juliann Brenner - I found your blog through my friend, Megan Duerksen. I love your pictures! Congrats on your little girl. My oldest are 15mos. apart; boy, then girl. So hard, but so worth it! They are the best of friends now at 5 and 4.
Liz - Precious!!
Julia Leinen - She’s beautiful! I love her little rolls on her belly in the pic with her eyes open. Hope you are recovering well!
Emily Lusk - The pictures of her are great!! You can never take to many picures! Sounds like she has already learned how to deal with her big brothers– just sleep until they go to bed!
Sarah - This will sound cliche, but the pictures you’ve been posting literally take my breath away. There is just something so special and captivating about your daughter, Ashley!

Beth - I don’t think anyone will mind all the pictures! She’s adorable, and they give everyone else out there with a baby on the way ideas for when they’re taking pics of their own.
