newborn goodness.

last week i was lucky enough to meet and photograph this beautiful new being.

his name is Jayce and his mommy and I went to high school together.
i LOVED being able to see her again and spend a morning with her and her loves.
it is wonderful enough to spend some time with someone just born into the world...but it was extra special because he is Heather's and i have special memories with her.
i was so happy she asked me to photograph her family at such a tender time.

and he is all kinds of amazing.
he was so chill...and completely willing and forgiving of us interrupting that all day newborn sleep session.

and his big sister.
oh his big sister Maylee.

what a LOVE.

i was smitten the moment i saw that beautiful rich red hair.

it was so neat to observe a little bit of this time as a new family of four where everyone is sinking into a rhythm with each other.
i felt very honored to be there.

is he not so amazing?
both of them.

it was such a treat and i feel lucky to have captured this beautiful family in these moments.

i think there were some really sweet images we got.

thank you Heather for inviting me into your home at such a significant time in your family's life!
looking forward to showing you the rest!
