Talk about some beautiful St. Patty’s weekend weather (for Saturday, at least). We made good use of the sunshine and warm temps with a trip to the park with some friends (and our favorite red-headed baby friend), had lunch on the patio at our favorite neighborhood spot, celebrated our friend’s birthday @ Village Taqueria, and I even got around to putting the first coat of stain on our “live edge” table for the deck.  It’s coming along nicely — now we just need to get some marine-grade varnish to make it extra protected from the outdoor elements.

I spent Sunday morning photographing the most precious little 2-week-old baby girl. She decided she didn’t want to sleep for the session, but that was perfectly ok because we got some really great shots of her pretty eyes and little mouth (see above) — and even one of her sticking her tongue out at the camera. So cute. I will be sharing some of my favorites from her newborn session later this week, so hop on over to Melissa Hayes Photography to check them out!
