Alexa Kate Sanders

My friend Dana gave birth to Alexa Kate and we thought we would attempt to take some adorable pictures of her. Taking pictures is so much of an art. I have an awesome camera and was hoping that would be all we needed. While Alexa is beautiful...I found my pictures were boring. Plain old pictures. I did manage to capture a few that I absolutely loved! I am posting those. I love what a natural mother dana has become. She seems at ease and you can tell she is absolutely in love with her baby girl. I couldn't resist taking these as she was trying to console alexa so we could get a few shots. I believe that mothers are given the gift of compassion and love. It comes so natural to us. We are blessed with the ability to take a little one in our arms and give them everything they need to sustain life. Alexa is blessed to have a wonderful caring mother that in my eyes as you can see by the pictures loves her beyond measure!











I had to post this picture of dana's dog petey. He made me laugh. I am sure he went under the bed thinking what are these dorks trying to do....I loved how he left half his body out....he sat there just like that....half his body under the bed with the back half sticking out......hilarious!

Rachel, you are too kind. You always say the nicest things. These pictures make me laugh. What a little bird mouth she is. She also looks so small. She is growing so fast :( Thanks for being such a great friend.

What a beautiful baby. And so true about moms... they have such an ability to keep on giving even when they think that they can't go on. Thanks for being a good example of such a mom.
