Baby Amelie Rose | Wisconsin Natural Light Family Photographer

Oh sweet Amelie. Chubby and adorable, undeniably fierce and full of life, this little girl is alive against the odds. Born 16 weeks early she is the ultimate preemie, more familiar with the NICU and needles than home and toys. But little by little and day by day she is leaving behind all evidence of the hospital – her last tether to her rough start is an oxygen tank that her tiny lungs rely on to grow bigger, stronger and ever more full of life. But even that she doesn’t have to use all the time and now that she is at home her days are filled with big brother Landry and his guitar, mom and dad and their eager, warm arms, gorgeous light in her sweet rose colored room, and of course, love, love and more love. I love her room decor and what it says about the way her adoring parents already think about her. I love how her big brother is totally gentle with her but also ready to rock whenever she is big enough to play. I love knowing that this world has a new little citizen in Amelie, a little girl who possesses an enormous will to thrive, which is exactly what she is doing every day.
