Dear Claire,

It’s been almost ten years since I peed on that stick and saw the double pink line. Almost ten years since I raced to my doctors office without an appointment, tears streaming down my face, to confirm that I was pregnant with you.

I will never forget the pain of those contractions, I will never forget your full head of hair and the moment Daddy said, “It’s a girl!”. Our baby girl.

The nurse, Doris, said to me that it would all go by so fast. That you would be grown up before I knew it. I prayed that wasn’t true. I didn’t want this part of my life to go by too fast. I do think back to what Doris said…often. Here it is. Your 9th birthday. The last year you are in the “single digits”! It WAS just yesterday that you were pulling on my pants to stand up, saying your first word, learning to skip, moving to the “big girl” bed, starting kindergarten, learning to skate, discovering YOUR voice…

I remember so clearly holding you in the rocking chair a couple of days after you were born. I sobbed the entire afternoon as you slept in my arms. I looked at your little face wondering what your voice would sound like, what you would look like, what you would do in your life. Wishing you all the best life could offer to you. I now know what your voice sounds like, I know what you like and I know the beautiful young girl you are growing up to be.

Happy 9th Birthday Baby Claire.

Mommy loves you. xo

Wanda - April 26, 2012 - 11:32 pm

Sharon De La O - April 26, 2012 - 11:32 pm

Katie - April 26, 2012 - 11:45 pm

So beautiful, Hilary. I cried real live tears. I think many of those same things about little Ivy. What a lovely little lady you’ve raised. xox

Theresa - April 27, 2012 - 8:07 am

Beautiful!

stacey - April 27, 2012 - 8:45 am

This brought tears to my eyes – every day I say that I want to freeze Cooper. He’s getting too big, too fast and time is flying by. I don’t want to forget the time when he was brand new – I already miss it! Really lovely post and beautiful photos as always!

Andrea - April 27, 2012 - 12:30 pm

Darn you Hil for making me ball and I should be working! So beautiful what you wrote. I can totally relate even though I’m still in the early stages. So many milestones have already come and gone. The love of a daughter. Consumes every ounce of your being and redefines what it means to be alive. To love our children. Still crying….

Lisa - April 27, 2012 - 1:25 pm

How lucky Claire is to have a mommy who commemorates her birthday with not only beautiful photos but also beautiful words! Happy 9th Claire! Hope it’s your best single digit year ever!

Ilona - April 27, 2012 - 1:34 pm

Hilary, you made me cry. Your daughter is so beautiful! You captured her spirit. My little girl is 8 now and I know what you feel…time is cruel.

Emilee - April 27, 2012 - 7:20 pm

Great post Hilary! This is so cute

Niki - April 29, 2012 - 8:14 pm

BEAUTIFUL….nothing like making me ball like a baby….Happy Birthday Claire:)

Stephanie Leight | Luminosity Photography - May 2, 2012 - 2:19 pm

I love this so much!! I love the name Claire too. It’s a family name for us. Beautiful images!

Melinda - May 3, 2012 - 11:04 am

This was the sweetest! Expecting a girl of my own come August, I couldn’t help but shed a few tears while reading your sentiments to your beautiful daughter.

Hello to everyone!

I am a wee bit heartbroken that I had to postpone 5 highly anticipated shoots this weekend! It’s the top o’ the season so there is lots of time to catch up. I was simply looking forward to them:) Next weekend is going to be a busy one….let’s just hope Mama Nature has the grey and cold out of her system!

It’s no secret how much I love the connections between people. I am plain old in love – with love. You may remember this beautiful woman from a “trash the dress” session we had over a year ago. She returned with her beloved and their dog for some family photos. I always love my time with you. Nothing means more to me than to see my clients (turned friends) time and time again. Looking forward to seeing your family grow.

Much love,

Hilary
