When I think of Derek and Tara and smile. Because in the years that I have known them I have come to just cherish their friendship. I was the one to photograph the engagement, the wedding, the first newborn, the 1 year session with a cake smash… And now they added another sweet girl to their family and what an honor to photograph her as well (Stay tuned for part 2 coming up!)

Tara is my go-to person for all things pregnancy and baby. I just love how much I can learn from a simple conversation with her. On this session I learned another cool thing, and so I will share with you: eat the placenta! I know, I know, I wouldn’t eat it either, BUT, she actually has the placenta encapsulated and takes it everyday. It’s supposed to help with hormones, breast mild, and many other things. I figure it can’t hurt, so why not?  

I might have to write an entire blog post with some of her tips! Tara, you’re absolutely the best! Thank you for trusting me with another milestone in your lives!
