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.
