Awhile back I announced that Rachel McCauley Photography would be expanding. Well, I am proud to announce for the first time on my blog the newest member of our team, Winifred Eden. Born September 22, 2013 right on her due date at 6 lbs 14 0z at 12:13PM. She certainly is punctual, but I must admit she needs to learn her way around a camera first before she officially can become a second shooter. She recently turned 6 months, so I thought it was time to finally share some photos here.

One of my favorite parts of being a mom is seeing her grow and develop. I loved being a wedding photographer before and now I am even more grateful for this job because it allows me to work from home. That way I never miss a milestone. It's been a bit of an adjustment being a work from home mom as, at first, things were a bit overwhelming. I find that now I get work done even faster than before because "me" time can be so fleeting in-between eat, play and sleep cycles. I truly value my time when I have it and everything I do, I do to provide for my daughter. She has made mine and my husband's life so much richer and fuller.

We love you, sweetsie pea.

These first few photos were taken at 3 weeks. Seems so long ago, yet not. I can't believe how tiny she was.
