Gainesville, FL Maternity & Family Photos - The Atkinson's

David and I got to go out to Alachua to the home of such a cool family! I work with Sarah at Meridian and she has been such a wonderful friend and encourager in my time there. Sarah and Cameron are expecting a baby boy in just a few weeks and Cadance is pretty excited to get to love on her little brother in person. It was hot as you would expect for a June midday in North Central Florida with nary a breeze, but you wouldn't even be able to tell with how wonderful this family looks in their pics. Thanks for enduring the sweltering heat for these images. I love them. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!













Cadance had a fun time spinning with Daddy!






It was important to get a few shots with"Lamb-y" :o)










Here we are convincing Cadance to scootch over for Mommy & Daddy! She's such a cheeky little cuter!

Gainesville, FL Newborn Photography - Abigail Dicus is here!

**Update** Her name is Abigail. :-)


Heather's water broke at about 4:30am yesterday morning. She was having contractions all day yesterday and after I got off from work and had gotten some dinner & a minute with David, I stopped by the hospital. Despite all Heather's contractions, there wasn't much progress in dilation. I went home to get some sleep & told them I'd come back when it got closer. I got a call this morning about 4:25am that she was at 10cm and would be starting to push soon! I got up, grabbed a Dew and a CLIF bar and headed to the hospital. I got there in plenty of time to watch Heather & Justin welcome their baby girl into the "outside". :-) They haven't settled on a name just yet, but we've all settled on the fact that she's here and is a keeper for sure. Here are a few shots of the sweet girl!
