Its always a joy to do newborn sessions. I forget just how small they are, despite the fact I am only 2 years post having a little bundle of my own.

I constantly think about how lucky I am to be doing something I love as a career. Part of what makes me so lucky is that I get to interact with the most amazing families and couples…they radiate with love.

Little “C” is going to have a lot of keepin’ up to do with his two older siblings!

Enjoy this time with your newest addition. Congrats!!
