I was so excited when friends of ours asked if I would photograph their newest member once he arrived! I NEVER assume that friends will, in fact, hire me. I always hope that they’d trust me to capture their families unique connection, but…i.never.assume.
So, this little guy’s mom was so excited about his nursery—which made me all that much MORE excited to create an awesome set up to compliment his nursery décor. His nursery décor followed one of my favorite children’s books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. His grandma even knit his little beanie and cocoon set—making the session all that much more special. I loved that it wasn’t some random prop that I fell in love with and purchased on Etsy—it was something handmade-by his grandma-just.for.him. It was actually soooo sweet (and made me a little misty-eyed) listening to Shelby recount how she had stared at this little hat and cocoon set laying in his crib while she anxiously awaited his arrival. I think we’ve all been there-staring at a closet full of the most precious newborn threads-trying to imagine this “most anticipated little person” arriving so that he/she can just wear all the stuff (if only for one or two times, right?!?).
So, there’s the backstory. My little Jackson and big brother, Tyler, are buddies. I love this family…and I’m even more excited that we’ll get to grow in similar directions: both families of four with two crazy little boys!
Congrats Kyle, Shelby, and Tyler! We couldn’t be more happy for you guys!!
Enjoy!
