there is one thing i believe i love more than photography and that is bartering.

hmm...weird statement to put under a photograph of a beautiful sleeping baby girl, huh?

let me explain. i work with this amazingly, talented and friendly woman who is just purely gifted behind the sewing machine and once i found out i was pregnant with cooper, i knew that i would love to have dark brown and lime green baby bedding. well. as you can imagine. these colors are not that easy to come by so....

i made a deal with my co-worker. handmade baby bedding in exchange i would take photographs of her new one-year old granddaughter.

and even though her end ran a bit smoother than mine. i am so pleased with this photograph that i believe it was all worth it.

plus. it is just fun being near those babies!
