I recently decided that instead of having two totally neglected blogs, I should try to have one mildly maintained blog.
A little Marla and Shane at work and a little Marla and Shane at home.
We are, afterall, Marla and Shane in both places!
So, Left on Amelia will remain a family and food blog, but now it will also have a little more photography action!

This past weekend I took a road trip with Brittany to Altanta.
We went to shop, eat, visit with friends, and of course load up on groceries.
The highlight of our weekend was meeting sweet Cassia for the first time!
Like Sonny, Cassia is a much loved, third born “bonus” baby!
When I was pregnant with Sonny, my friend Erin was my confidant and counselor. She was a few months ahead of me and she gave me honest accounts of how things were going with the new baby and the “big” kids. She didn’t try to sugarcoat over the tough stuff, but she also assured me that it was going to be wonderful. Going back to having a baby is hard and kinda scary at first, but Erin expressed my exact feelings this weekend when she looked over at Cassia, just sitting there being cute, and said to her, “I’m so glad you’re here.”
Yes, so glad.
You are loved sweet baby!
What a wonderful and perfect blog post!! It is hard to have a 3rd so far behind the other 2 but totally worth it. There is something extra special about the way they change the family dynamics. Gorgeous baby and photos!
LOve Love the merger of all things Marla and Shane! never get enough of your wonderful photos, they never fail to make me smile!
wow! words really can’t describe how thankful i am to you for capturing the beauty and spirit of my little number 3! so while it might have taken us 17 months to have her picture taken, i can now say without hesitation it was worth the wait! you rock marla carter 🙂
Such beautiful photos. and Cassia is a doll.
Just totally lovely photos. You must be a very special friend. I am a friend of Grand Jane!
wonderful idea! your photography is gorgeous. and i am totally in the obsessed-with-bonus-third-babies club 😉 i dont know what it is about them that changes your life so intensely, but they do!
My 3rd born ‘bonus’ baby is a dream. A chaotic joyful sweet fun-lovin shake-your-head-but hold-your-heart dream.
