Welcome to the world, baby R!!!

I have already blogged about a couple of my great friends and their kids, but I have a new one to show you! One of my closest friends, Nichole and her husband Gabe, just brought in the New Year by having their second son! They are already the best parents to their first, who is just 6 weeks older than Addyson. Now they have another bundle of joy and he is the sweetest, most precious little thing! Addyson and I got the pleasure of going down to San Antonio recently to "help out" and to take some pictures of this little man! With Addyson freaking out from the minute Gabe opened the door, to Addyson pooping on their carpet, I think we made it more chaotic than helped. HA! On a positive note, I think the pictures turned out great! He slept great and was very cooperative. I absolutely loved doing this session. I think it is a combination of a couple of things: 1.) I love these people and they are already so special to me 2.) I was there all weekend and so we weren't on a schedule 3.) I think this is the most important--I had a wonderful photographer take Addyson's newborn portraits and they were the best investment I feel like I have ever made. Those pictures to this day invoke such heavy emotions from that time that are so special to me. I can still remember the exact way she looked, smelled, cried, smiled, and every minute of that day, including the multiple times she "tee-teed" all over Trent and every blanket the photographer owned! I still have ALL my newborn pictures up in their frames and can't imagine replacing them any time soon.

Thank you for the opportunity to photograph my first newborn and I hope these images provide great memories for many years to come!

I am also doing her birth announcements and have a collection of the cutest announcements! If you are interested in a newborn session and birth announcements, email me and I will send you a link for the announcement choices I have. I will also post baby R's completed announcement when they have been sent out! I prefer to do newborn sessions when your baby is 1-10 days old because they sleep so much and are more "moldable" during this time. We can coordinate a tentative date around your due date, which can be changed at any time with just a phone call!
