I previously mentioned that this beautiful momma and myself were in a race to the finish line to see who had their baby first.  Well, she totally beat me and as each day goes by, she has beaten me by a lot!   I know how excited she was about the newborn shoot and how important it was to her to get those shots when possible, but I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to do it in my 2 week newborn span pending my little guys arrival.  I am technically on maternity leave but since no baby yet, I made sure to get down to their home to get their newborn in ASAP.  Can I say, momma looks super FANTASTIC for just having a baby 5 days ago.  She is like an old pro at this baby thing.

When I got to their home, I asked if the nursery was done, which 75% of the time it isn’t.  When daddy took me upstairs to see it, my mouth dropped.  I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this beautiful room.  What a lucky little man to have such a great space and such creative parents who put it all together in time.  A lot of their room decor came from one of my favorite online shopping sites, ETSY, including the the wall vinyl.  Daddy said it took 5 hours to do, and well worth it in my opinion.  Then there was “MAX,” the mini guard dog/supper puppy.  Already so protective of his new brother.

This shoot ran beyond super smooth, but I have to say I was completely touched when momma took a picture of me with baby and they thanked me for being a part of the process of welcoming little Lucas into the world. That jesture made me feel more like a friend than just a photographer.  Thank you for that!

Can’t get enough of that hair!

This may be my favorite mother/baby shot ever.
