*eek* I can't turn back now....

Most of you know that I finally sucked it up and launched my website this weekend.  I'd been sitting on it for a month, letting the crazy voices in my head talk me out of it - just about every day. 


My discomfort comes from that thought that by putting myself "out there" like that, people would assume that I thought I was the best...  or that I knew it all....  

If *real* professionals look at my site, will they totally pick apart my work?  

Because I'm not the worlds best.  I certainly DON'T know it all.  I learn something new at each and every session I do.   Which is part of why I did want to put it out there.  More business means more opportunity to learn.  

I talked it through with my friends and they encouraged me to just do it.  They might've just been sick of hearing me waffle back and forth on it, but regardless - I did it.  I hit "publish."  

And now - it's started.  I just booked my first session, with someone I'd never met/heard of, through the "Contact Allison" form on my site.  

I can't decide if I'm more freaked out or excited.  

I think excited, though.  

Yeah.  Excited.  

I'll probably set up a photo blog to link up with my site,  so that I can use this one strictly to ramble on about the adventures of raising a toddler...   (I read an article this weekend that referred to toddlers as "emo-bombs", walking emotional rollercoasters.  "EmoBombs".  LOVE IT.). 

Anyway, yeah.

Randomness.

It was very quiet in the house....




Just a few minutes later.  She REALLY loves her books.





At the arboretum...



She's my favorite.  Everyday.  Even the bad ones.

Welcome Anna Victoria!

Here's the birth I did last week....  such a sweet, sweet, perfect baby - who is ADORED by her older brothers. It's a good thing I got the shots the first time, because Mom had her out in ONE push! Congratulations Amy, David, Alex & Hudson!!!

Wordless-close-enough-to-Wednesday




***we all know I add words to my WW.  For dinner, I made her baked french toast and eggs.  And she smeared maple syrup all in her hair.  I figured, as long as it's sticking straight up - I may as well make it fun!  The outfit is from Tea.  And too big b/c my baby is too little, but still oh so sweet, soft, lovely and made conscientiously.

Meet sweet, perfect, tiny, precious Liam!

Gabi & Eric invited me to help document the birth of their son, Liam - and what an amazing family they are!  They're doing such a FANTASTIC job with their little man, and he is absolutely, positively, perfect.  I swear he's the same size as Charlotte's newborn cabbage patch doll - and he's GORGEOUS!  Watch this video and tell me you don't agree.  But then - look at Gabi.  How could she NOT grow a pretty baby?  And can I add - doing this rocks my socks.   And makes me cry happy tears.  God is good.
