mikaela louise : famous warrior

This weekend I had the opportunity to photograph this little beauty for my friend Gen and her husband Tim! Ben and I not only met each other on the Beach To Bush DTS (through YWAM in Australia)  , but we also met Gen! It was so neat to see my Canadian friend again down under, and to meet her husband, their adorable little boy - Ethan - as well as the newest addition to the family.... Miss Mikaela Louise.  Gen was telling us that they had some difficulty during the pregnancy, but Mikaela is a strong little girl.  They gave her the middle name "Louise" because she is a fighter! How beautiful!

Gen and Tim, it was great to see you guys :) Here are a few photos while you wait for the rest! We will have to get together again soon!

A big thanks to Gemma for another round of trying out her camera as well as her expertise in photographing newborns :) You rock Gems!

so beautiful! love these chels! abbey's always talking about gen & family, so it was especially neat to see the new little one!

did you use a macro lens for the last shot? i am looking into buying one for details like newborn feet and hands, wedding ring shots, etc, but not sure which to get.

by the way, LOVE the new site. how do you get the facebook, email and other connection things under each post? or was that part of the template? i'd love to add that to my blog.

Hey Becca! So I love the 100mm macro lens. I was trying out Gemma's Nikon D700 and used her lens': the 50mm and 100mm. I actually used the 50 for the feet shot, but loved the results from the 100mm macro!

And the buttons under the post just show up with blogger! sweet eh!
