Thankful

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and although I have a ton to be thankful for big and small, I am most thankful for my healthy baby boy.  I feel so blessed that God chose Kevin and I to be his parents.  So much has changed since last Thanksgiving, and it has been the most joyous, emotional, exhausting, and exciting time of my life.  Pregnancy, childbirth, and now motherhood have been such gifts, and I am so grateful for this life and all its blessings.  Being Paxson's mom is my greatest accomplishment, and I know that if I never do anything else extraordinary in this life, having him is more than enough.  So...here are a few photos of my handsome boy.  

This first photo is my favorite photo of Paxson to date....I love him so much.

 My sister took the photos that I am in....Thank you Carley.

Paxson William

So....baby boy decided to let Kevin and I know who runs things now and show up three and half weeks early.  He pretty much blew my October plans out of the water and that is fine by me.  My main concern was his health, and he is a very healthy and happy boy so we are thrilled to get to enjoy him already.  Having him surprise us early was such a blessing, and I have spent the past two weeks getting to know Paxson William.  He is so perfect, and I love being his mommy.  Whitney Lin Photography has had to take a backseat a bit sooner than expected, but I can usually get a few works things done in the afternoon when little man hangs in his swing.  I also was able to get a few photos featuring Paxson done last week.  The outdoor family ones were taken quickly while my family was still visiting.  I am so happy to have them even though Kevin and I look exactly like the tired new parents we are.  I also did a few of just Paxson, and I hope to do a few more this weekend while my sister is here.  It is kinda hard to be the mommy and photographer at the same time, but we got a few shots before he had enough.  

I might decide to share more about his birth at a later time, but for now here are some photos of my handsome son.

 and...this is when I knew he had had enough.  I must be his mother if I think this photo is cute :)

I am just about caught up with all my wedding editing for the year!  It is such a great feeling, but I will miss having wedding sneak peeks to share.  I have such amazing wedding clients, and I love getting to know them, their friends, and family over the course of the day.  I get to be part of some amazing intimate moments on a couple's wedding day.  I always feel so blessed to be able to do what I do, and to be trusted with those moments.  

Jade and Kyleigh, you two are such a perfect couple.  I have so much respect for your love, and the care you've put into making your relationship work.  Congrats on the wedding, and I wish you both many years of happiness together.  Enjoy your sneak peek!
