Wow. Wow! Hands down … you win for best sister of the year. Ever. So sweet!
You did a fabulous job of integrating video with the wonderful images! I don’t know you, it’s my first time to your blog but the combo of still & video with that song has me all teary over here 🙂
Crying. No words will ever be able to describe how grateful I am to my sister and how truly blessed by God I feel to have her capturing my families milestones.
THANK YOU.
I don’t know either you or your sister but I have followed Fresh Art and your Jodiefied blog for a while now. These images and video had me in tears. Love the image at 1.20. What a beautiful family and your shots are amazing. The love between them shines through. Sweet 🙂
Beautiful. Congratulations to the new family of four 🙂
Oh, Sam is so sweet and cute with her new baby sister. Everyone looks so happy and healthy. And did I just see Abbie SQUATTING DOWN – like on day two? Certified Rock Star!
beautiful, just beautiful. What is that song?
Jodie-
That is so neat for you to do for Abbie. Wishing you all many blessings!
i cried through this whole thing! seriously jodie. great work!
Thanks for the warning. Because that did have me crying WAY harder than the caroling video. I’m talking, tears running down my face. That was awesome.
LOVE it…wow, that was great!! Congrats to Abbie and Aunt Jodie!
Beautiful. Just sobbed through the whole thing. Makes me want to have another as there is nothing sweeter than when siblings first meet. So, so beautiful.
Don’t say that was a “bad” video, ’cause it absoultely ROCKED!! I have always loved the song choices with your videos, and that did not disappoint.
Saying that I LOVED that is such an understatement, it made me cry and smile… it was just awesome Jodie! And seriously… could your sister look more amazing and glowing? She just shines with motherhood, what an amazing gift you made her!
this is such an amazing gift. you did an awesome job!! sam is going to be an amazing big sister…..
Seriously?!?! That was amazing! Beautiful. LOVED it.
That is priceless. What a beautiful family – they’ll cherish this video forever!
That was a beautiful video! loved seeing you all and Sam looks very happy to be a big sister. Brought tears to my eyes. love ya. Aunt Ouisie
Sweet, charming, beautiful…what a treasure…what a loving family. Jodie, you have an amazing ability to capture just the right moment! Thanks for sharing your work and your love.
oh geeze, that was too wonderful! Now I’m crying. Thanks a lot Abbie, now I NEED to have another baby—guess I’ll add “get pregnant” to my to-do list. Like I’m not busy enough! Seriously, this was so sweet, thanks for sharing! Sam looks so much like my Maddie, that button nose and the huge eyes. Best wishes and prayers for all of you!
ps. Jod, the other day i forgot to tell you how cute your hair is short and curly! love it. we need more chatting time, wish I could have spent the whole day with you. so much we didnt get to…
Incredible! Amazing photos that they will cherish forever. And your sister looks amazing! And Avery is truly one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen – really. She is just perfect. Great job, Sis!
jodie, that is AH-mazing. beautiful family! it makes me want to forget all the late nights and no sleep and makes me want to have a third little baby! thanks for sharing!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! I’m a Minnesota Mom of 2 beautiful girls…13 months and 3.5yrs…thank you so much for bringing back incredible memories. I treasure the moment the “sisters” met as much as I treasure the births. Jodie you do amazing work and we just might have to travel some day to have you photograph our family! P.S. the music is perfect.
Hi Jodie,
Just saw Abbie’s FB page and found my way here. Had no idea you were doing this AWESOME photography. I absolutely love your work. I love seeing this video collage of your family.
For whoever asked, the song is Family Tree by Frances England — if you like it, you will also like Elizabeth Mitchell’s albums. 🙂 Great choice of song! We are expecting our new branch of our family tree in early May. 🙂
