Happy 4th Birthday Madison

My baby girl is 4 years old! Her birthday was the 18th, but I'm just now getting to the post. We had a family party. She was quite happy with it all. I can't believe she's 4!

I love you Maddie!

This is one of my favorite photos from her quick 4 year old photo shoot.

This is when she had just come down the stairs and saw the decorations, she was so excited!

I love this expression, she was so happy!

Here's her princess cake!

Maddie really took some time to think of her wish.

This is the Barbie Aunt Julia got her for her birthday! She loved it!

She was so shocked to get this Wedding day Barbie.

My New Nephew

I am excited to introduce my new nephew, Jack Anthony!
He was born on August 14th at 4:08pm, he weighed 7 lbs 14.6 oz and was 20 inches long.
I was so honored to be there and witness his entrance into this world!
I didn't think it would be possible, but as luck would have it, she was induced and I was able to plan a trip out! Jack is the first birth I've been able to attend, and it was just as beautiful and amazing as I had imagined it would be! What a true miracle a new baby is! So here are a few pictures. If you want to see more you can check out my website www.kathrynmandelphotography.com and look for him under my featured galleries. I will also post some on my photography blog too.

This is one of my favorite studio shots. I love his little hands.

I had Jack's Nona (paternal grandmother) take a photo of me. Proof that I was there!

Further proof I was there.

I love this photo of my sister and her son. I took this in the hospital!
