This has been one of the sweetest chapters in my life so far :) My heart is so full from so many blessings !!!! Look at this tiny girl ! I have decided to dedicate my blog to Sky for the first 7 days of her little life. I say that only because I wanted you all to have a time when you knew I would be posting other sessions... I am telling you.. this mumsy role is THE BEST!!! Today we took these pictures. I have been saving this fabric just for her. I don't want to wear her completely out but there are so many more ideas... Ellie is still recovering and just wasn't in the mood to be in the pictures yet... but ..... soon... :) I have some ideas for that too... THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! Enjoy Day 3 of Sky's Life !!!

About Me
- Cindy Harter
- I believe that treasuring the people in our life not only helps the people in our life but helps US. It is so easy to get so caught up in the daily routine of life that we forget the best gifts are the people that live with us. I want to use my camera and vision to show you what you have in the connections to the people you love. It is the greatest treasure we have in this life. When a mom can see how her children listen to her and respond to her she knows her daily energy into her family is building people. When a man can see that the best life has to offer him is in his own house that is a beautiful thing. It is something I can do. I want to be a blessing and that is what heals me ! I love this job ! I truly believe families can be glued together with one really special photograph. It is such a cool thing to walk into a family feel the dynamics that are unique to their special relationships and translate that into a hard copy image. Sometimes we need to have a real image in our hand of what we hope with our heart is true. I want to do that for you ! I am a proud member of the professional photographers association 770.547.1018

Sky's Day 3 of life....
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Going home today :)
This has been one of the sweetest chapters of my life :) So many good things in my life and I could not think of one thing in my life I would change. What an awesome feeling that is ! I went down to the cafeteria to eat something after a night with Ellie and Sky and none of us got very much sleep. When I walked into the room this is what I saw. My baby girl with her baby girl. They are two peas in a pod...both completely in love with eachother. There is just nothing like those first few days of falling in love. Sky is going to be soooooo loved !!! She is the best Valentines Day present any of us have ever gotten. I couldn't resist, I had to share a few more images from Sky's day 2 of being with us.

Sky's birthday... { Atlanta Birth and Newborn Photographer }
Friday Febuary 13th, 2009 at 12:32am the most precious person finally made her entrance into the world. Please Meet Sky Noel Smith. For those of you who have been following my blog I know you already know how long we have been waiting and how much we already LOVE her. I took some pictures and decided to share some with you all. PLEASE send up prayers of thanksgiving that we have a healthy baby girl and Ellie is doing just fine. I have so many feelings running around my head and heart. It is one thing to have one yourself but when you love someone so much and have to watch it.... I have been filled with excitement, worry, anxiousness... and LOOK at this little reward! SHE IS PERFECT!!!! She reminds me so much of what Ellie looked like when she was born. I think she is the most beautiful baby ever !! Granted I know I am NOT objective at all. Please forgive me if I share wayyyyy too many pic's of her. I don't know if I can NOT do it !!! We have not left the hospital yet. We go home tomorrow. I have all kinds of ideas in my head for a newborn session with our beautiful Sky Noel. Thank you again for all the prayers. With all the prayers that went up to ask for a good outcome it is only right for just as many to send up an equal amount of THANKYOU'S!!!!!!
I had to take a picture of what the Sky looked like on the morning of her birthday.
Ellie , soooooo happy to know that we are getting a baby today !!!!!
Everybody checking on Ellie before it gets too intense. Brothers, her daddy, sisters and me.
This is one of my favorite shots of the day. Her sisters love her so much and it was incredible to share this with All my favorite women. So strange to think my babies are now all women. Strong women !
This was the view outside the labor/delivery room. Isn't that Sky peaceful ?
I was crying so much it was pretty hard to hold the camera steady. I can honestly say I would rather have a baby myself than watch someone I love so much have one.

I absolutely love this eye contact. There are soooo many photoshoots in her future !!
Look at our precious girl. 8lbs 1 ounce
I got to bring her to Ellie to see for the first time. We sang to her... It just doesn't get any better than this.

Proud Pa..
Thankful sisters!

She already knows just how to look into the camera :) Gotta love that !!!!


Happy Valentines Day !!!!

STILL waiting :(
As I write this poor Ellie is bouncing on a yoga ball. We went to the doctor today and it was a surprise she made it another weekend. Calling for all stories about how you went into labor !!!!!! Any help is appreciated !!! She has already walked her legs off, bounced on the yoga ball, eaten mexican, and eggplant and getting a massage tomorrow . She is progressing pretty far but can't seem to get that last push.. I remeber so well. The last little bit is hard and to be patient is nearly impossible. Leave me a comment and tell me your story.. PLEASE ! We want to meet Sky :)
