Meet Jack! He was born on April 18th and is my most special client yet because he made me an aunt! Needless to say, this newborn session was near and dear to my heart. A few weeks ago, I got to spend the morning with my brother and sister-in-law and their brand new baby boy (and Riley, their Yellow Lab and first baby). Jack has blonde hair and blue eyes, and he is just the sweetest little snuggle bug. I love it when clients want to include sentimental items in their sessions, and this one was no exception. After all these years, our mom still had the shirt Andrew came home in from the hospital, as well as a pair of boots our great-grandmother crocheted for him. Lauren’s parents had saved a little league t-shirt that once belonged to her younger brother, and she’d added it to a display of all sorts of “little boy things” in his room. We got a few shots of him in these as surprise Mother’s Day gifts for both grandmothers. So sweet!

It’s so hard to believe that my little brother is now a dad, but he and Lauren have welcomed the change seamlessly and are already such amazing parents. Baby Jack (or “Bobby Gack” as Leighton calls him) is a such blessing to our family, and I am just thrilled to have a front row seat to watch his life unfold.

Welcome to the world, Jack! We love you with all of our hearts.
