Baby Girl Lim started having her photo taken long before her birth on February 5th ;) We did monthly photos during pregnancy to remember my ever-growing baby bump...in the fun & fashionable Infinity Dress that Sam made me (I was blessed with a crafty husband)! I just love looking at this pregnancy collage and still being amazed at the fact that my little girl grew in that big ol' belly ;)

Then on the outside, we had a pretty-in-pink Newborn photo shoot for Liliana's Birth Announcements.  Followed one week later with a Valentine's mini session in the cutest red & white polka dot bloomers ;)  And the month after that, we captured photos of our wide-eyed beauty in an adorable Easter scene.  She has learned quickly that she is the new test subject for all of our Studio Sessions...but she's a photographer's dream of a daughter with smiles galore! WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! =D

Those who know me, and those who follow the RA blog, know very well that I LOVE to decorate & design ;)  So I practically spent my whole pregnancy putting together Pinterest projects, yard sale shopping, and spray painting just about every piece of furniture in the room! Sam was behind his sewing machine just about the entire 9 months...rocking chair & foot stool cushions, crib dust ruffle, valence curtain, and reupholstering a whole couch! And probably one of my favorite features, besides the whimsical birdie mural of course ;) are the custom-built book shelves and letter "L".  During the pregnancy, we were not revealing baby girl's name until she arrived, so no one knew that the "L" stood for Liliana...everyone just thought it was for our last name "Lim"! =D

My goal with this Nursery was to turn a tiny, drab bedroom into a cheery, comfy space to watch my baby girl grow up in...CHECK!!! =D

OH! And if you love our beautiful baby quilt or the adorable blocks we use for our weekly photos with Liliana, be sure to check out my super talented friend's online Shop:  www.everydayoctober.storenvy.com

After 21 hours of all natural labor and holding Liliana Mae in my arms, I simply felt on top of the world...then it all changed in an instant.

I cannot believe that 3 months ago "Life with Liliana" began. On February 5th at 7:45am, Liliana Lim was born =)  But the real story began on February 4th at 11:00am...

Oh what memories came flooding back when I spent time with Lynette & Tony for their maternity session this weekend.  Memories of anticipation & excitement as you're about to welcome a little one into your world =)

One of my favorite parts of pregnancy was designing the nursery!...Lynette showed me the amazing art installation they have for Baby Sawyer's nursery: rustic, wooden planks from floor to ceiling on one wall and a woodland creature mural with trees & deer on the other. Which means the Wall Art Collection we put together from their session is a perfect match: couture wooden frames holding four of their gorgeous images by the pond! And what I love about our new Couture Frame collection is clients get to take them home that day...so Lynette will have them ready to display at her Baby Shower this weekend! =D

We had some good laughs this weekend with The Wachob Family =)  And even better, it was rewarding to have them visit us, because they are like so many families today..."We've been wanting to get pictures done for quite some time, but with our work schedules it's hard"...but as Tisha said in her email "I am going to make this happen" ;)  And so the four of them: parents, son, and daughter-in-law spent some time in the sunny, but chilly weather, this weekend for their new Family Portraits =)
