Newborns: Meet Baby A

In 2008, I had the pleasure of photographing Karl and Jennifer's  beautiful Independence Day wedding. Imagine my excitement when Jennifer called me last month and announced that she and Karl were expecting their first child, a daughter! Last week, I was privileged to meet and photograph the newest member of Karl and Jennifer's family, angelic Baby A. She is preciousness, defined. 


I was thrilled when I was going through the images from Baby A's session and came across this...
(It's my favorite!)


Jennifer looked fantastic! You would never guess that she had a baby the week before. 

You can just tell with some dads that they're naturals when it comes to their newborns.
Karl is a natural. And he didn't even mind getting pooped on. 


When my little boy was a baby, I took hundreds of pictures of him and sadly acknowledged that he would never be as little as he was that day. Babies grow so fast  and it's a real treasure to be able
to look back on their newborn portraits and marvel at how small and fragile your baby was in the beginning.


Baby A was a total sweetheart for our session.
Welcome to parenthood, Karl and Jennifer!
