I not only got to see Alexis and Sean through their gorgeous wedding, beautiful maternity, and their very first baby, but I got to experience it with them in an extremely personal way.  I got to tell the story of these joyous moments and preserve these memories for them.  I feel incredibly lucky and honored to have been trusted with such a significant role.

Six days prior to this shoot, Alexis gave birth to Cannon Jax… natural birth… 9 lbs+…  nuff said.   The cycle of life never cease to amaze me.  Sadly, Sean’s dad passed away around the same time that CJ was born and was out of town for his father’s funeral during this shoot.  My deepest condolences go out to Sean’s family.  I know he’s now in heaven watching over CJ and the joy that CJ brings into your lives will fill any voids.

Meet CJ…

I so love how heavenly he looks sleeping.  He looks like a baby angel.  And look at those little toes!

The little fingernails melt my heart!

I enjoyed finding places to put him. 

I found this little Radio Flyer Wagon last month and HAD to put it to use.  I can’t believe he even slept so peacefully in the tiny wagon!  Don’t believe me?  Check out that smile.    And the image to the right just cracks me up.

Thank you Sean & Alexis for allowing me to be part of your lives.  I am extremely lucky to have met you both and look forward to being a part of all that lies ahead!

For anyone who is interested in a newborn session, I’d love to hear from you!  If you are scheduling the birth date, these sessions are scheduled (tentatively) before the baby is even born.  Otherwise, parents will contact me the day the baby is born (usually via text message) and we schedule the shoot immediately.  The first few weeks with your new baby can be overwhelming, so it’s really common to miss the newborn period (first 2 weeks).  Pictures will be the last thing on your mind, so if you know that you really want these photos, contact me soon so that I can make make this happen for you.  I hope to document those new little fingers and toes for you!
