In 2006 I met my wonderful husband-Patrick Rivers. Being that my family was small (just 3 of us girls), & his family was HUGE (2 boys and 4 girls), we quickly learned how different (and how FABULOUS) each of our different families were. For example-I have 5 cousins-TOTAL. He has so many I can’t count them. :). I finally had the opportunity to meet the rest of my husband’s cousins this summer while at a family get-together in Mankato, MN. Let me tell you-these cousins {Erin, Jenny, & Carissa} remind me of my sisters and my family-funny, a little bit crazy, and a whole lot of wild all rolled into one! I had the privilege of photographing their families and children this evening. I am blessed. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity Meg & Family. I hope to see you more in the future and get to know your kiddos (and photograph them more of course!) xoxo. Love.
On January 12, 2011 I was lucky enough to experience love at first sight. For 10 long months my husband and I had been anticipating the arrival of our son-Noah Patrick Rivers. He arrived at 8:43 pm and weighed a light 7 lbs and 1 oz. Our little peanut was delivered via c-section after I experienced 24 long hours of labor. When Noah was delivered I couldn’t see anything that was going on-all I heard was the small cry and I could see ALL THAT HAIR from the corner of my eye! I was immediately in love. It has been 1 month since Noah Patrick graced us with his presence and life has never been better. Being a Mom is the best gift I have ever been given. Here are a few precious moments I have captured since his birth.
