Lindsay Parks Photography » welcome

I feel like I am brushing some dust off of the blog here…I visited SO often in the months of October, November, and December–I miss that!! I think I am becoming a better “facebooker” than blogger. It’s just too easy!

January has been a nice time to rest and regroup, and things don’t really start picking up again until the beginning of March…with the exception of some seriously precious newborns like baby boy Lucas here.

There is something magical about winter babies. It’s such a sweet feeling being snuggled inside, cozy and warm with a newborn baby, when the weather outside is so frigid and snowy! Lucas was actually born right before the big snow we received last week. He is welcomed by a super adorable big brother (can you say heart breaker?), Julian. These two are going to make some serious memories together as siblings. Julian was so excited to show me his room, Lucas’s room, his toys, and even got to building some pretty awesome couch forts! It was so cute.

Thanks so much for having me over! It was awesome meeting all of you. 🙂 Congratulations!!

Downtime is wonderful for many reasons (for obvious reasons), but I am super excited to be able to finally devote time to some projects I had been putting on the backburner over the past few months. Specifically, it’s so wonderful to finally blog about this wonderful event I photographed on the day before Halloween of 2010.

There is a wonderful family I have shot many times. The awesome mom of this family called on me to help out for a special event by capturing the moments with my lens they wouldn’t be able to. Meet Megan. This is my client’s neice. At 5 months old Megan was diagnosed with Hypotonia and Global Developmental Delay. You can read more about Megan here on her very own website. Better yet, you can DONATE on this page as well, which I strongly encourage you to do. The donations given help fund the research needed to find better treatment methods and a possible cure for Genetic Disorders such as the one Megan has.

Back in October, Megan’s wonderful and extremely amazing family organized a race in which all the proceeds would benefit the Miracle for Megan Foundation, an organization created by the family to raise awareness, increase research, and develop optimal treatment methods for people with Genetic Disorders.

It. Was. Amazing! They had an incredible turnout, it was a beautiful day…and everyone was in wonderful spirits for sweet Megan. There were kids (a costume contest and games galore ensued after the race was over) and grown-ups alike there supporting Megan and her family and a lot of money was raised!

Keep up with Megan on facebook on the Miracle for Megan Foundation Page here. She is quite a spirited and determined little girl!

Thanks so much Miceli family for including me in such a special event, and I hope you enjoy this extremely over due sneak peek of this incredible day!

Our very first one!
Our family is extra big on snow days because that means we get Daddy home for the day.
Jackson REALLY wanted to make a snowman (I mean, the poor kid has been talking about it for weeks), but this snow was just not destined to be snowman snow. A quick fix-sledding.

I love capturing my own 2 loves. 😉
ENJOY!! …and happy snow day to ya!

  • Kellie Montogmery - ADORABLE…. Can’t wait to meet sweet Marissa!ReplyCancel

…that is just what sweet Marissa did for me today-sleep. When I first arrived and her Mom told me she was a pretty good sleeper and that was pretty much “how she rolled”, I figured that would immediately jinx us for a wide awake baby, but nope. She slept. I should have known Mom would be right!

I had photographed big sister Gianna in summer of 2009 when she was one year old. She’s a gorgeous little girl, and my how she had changed! It’s amazing. Something happens after kiddos turn two. About halfway through that year they become…well, kids and not toddlers. Their limbs lengthen, their hair is longer, their vocabulary is astounding! Gianna was no exception, and that is hands down my favorite part of this job. Well, that and snuggling sweet, new, little babies who are only still measuring their lives in days and weeks. I got to do BOTH today, so it was a great morning. My favorite from the session is definitely Gianna peeking down at her new baby sister in the baby bed. Love it.

Thanks for having me over to capture this fleeting moment in your lives. It goes so fast. As I type this we are all about to greet 2011 with open arms. I took a special picture of Marissa for that, but you have to wait until tomorrow!

Share the love…15 comments right here on the blog gets this new family a free 5×7 print.
Have a safe and happy New Years Eve!
