Scott and I visited my niece last night. It's hard to believe it's been four months since she was born and how fast she's changing and growing. I remember being at work, answering a call from my mom and hearing that Elvira was pregnant. I'm pretty sure my cubicle neighbor thought I was crazy because of how excited I suddenly got. My sister was finally granted the baby she and her husband had hoped for, and I was going to be an auntie again. A few months later, Elvira asked me whether I could take her maternity photos. I was a little hesitant, since I had never shot a maternity session, but since she's my sister, I figured she wouldn't be overly critical. Elvira, I'm sorry I was grumpy that morning. I was worried we were too late to catch the perfect light, but you reminded me that it wasn't about that. Thanks for reminding me of that and thanks for letting me capture these precious memories. Tell Gabby I love her, and that I'll visit her again soon.
