It’s hard to believe it has been three years since we photographed Lauren & Garrison’s gorgeous Wequassett Resort wedding. Time really does have a way of flying by when you’re busy.

We were so happy when Lauren contacted us back in March to ask about doing some photos this summer with their daughter, Julia, who at the time was 14 months old….such a fun age. Of course, we said, “Yes!” As it turned out, things ended up getting pretty busy when they contacted us again last month to arrange a session date. But, we were grateful to be able to rearrange a few things and fit them in. (***Meaghan & Brad, if you’re reading this….we’d love to do a session with you & Cooper this fall if you come back to the Cape!!! It would be so great to see you guys again!)

Andy & I feel so grateful to be able to reconnect with our former brides & grooms and luckier still to get to be there with them as they embark on the exciting new path of parenthood. Having documented the joining of two lives, it feels so exciting and so humbling to then be able to document the next major milestone as two lives become three.

Here are just a few of our favorite moments with Lauren, Garrison and sweet Julia:

I don’t know what it is about bubbles that captivates the imagination & interest of children, but watching them as they blow and chase and drip from the elbows with bubble liquid brings me a kind of joy I wish I could bottle and save for later. I just love this next shot of Julia trying to blow bubbles as the liquid drips down her arms. I just love it!

A little game of peek-a-boo…..precious!

Julia was very happy to have the undivided attention of mommy, daddy & me as we played peek-a-boo. So sweet!

Looking pensive, Julia and her mommy sift through their collection of sea treasures.

Can you hear the sea? Seriously, are those lips munchable or what?

I love the look in Julia’s eyes as her mommy Lauren puts her in a new lobster dress….so sweet!

Checking out a beetle with daddy….

If joy had a photo next to it in the dictionary, this would be it!

Julia was being very cheeky and kept racing out of mommy & daddy’s arms as we tried to get a family photo. We did end up getting a really nice one, but this is still one of my favorites because it really speaks to her personality!

So serious….

Daddy’s girl…

After our session, it was time for a little coloring before dinner. I just love the light in this next one and the feeling of family…

I don’t know what it is about tiny feet that makes my heart smile, but my heart was smiling away as I grabbed this next shot of Julia’s happy little toes…

A girl after my own heart…Julia was all smiles while eating dinner.  Again, i love the light in this next shot and Julia’s super delicious expression of joy! Ahhhhh….it’s the simple pleasures that are life’s greatest!

Lauren & Garrison it was so great seeing you guys again! Thank you so much for thinking of us and for inviting us to once again document a milestone in your lives. It was so wonderful meeting Julia! She is such a sweet, happy little girl and we hope these photos keep her little for a while longer as these next few months will likely bring big changes. Big love & hugs, Christine & Andy xoxo
