One lucky family.
One lucky boy.
Congratulations to Chad and Marcie on their gorgeous baby boy.
He's purely delightful and the perfect little caboose!













A mere 4 days before their forth child came into this big world. They were barefoot, and they laughed a lot.
And the anticipation and excitement over this new little soul was palpable.
I get to meet Greyson (though I actually refer to him as "Cash", since that was my vote in this whole process) tomorrow morning.
I can't wait.





The following is my favorite shot from the evening-- sure to go (big) in my next sample Beloved album ::












Oh you know how I love a good maternity. These are lovely! Your favorite is mine as well. They look so happy & she is absolutely glowing! Fantastic work as always.
(04.18.12 @ 05:19 PM)1. I love this family.
2. I love the expressions and story they tell.
3. This is what I do-- these are the sessions that make my heart sing. I love it when a family, or couple, will just play while I document it.
This is what I do.
My goal is always this :: that when people look back at the pictures I take, they will remember the exact thing that made them laugh so hard, or the words that made them hug so tight. I want them to be able to look back at their images and remember the evening we spent together perfectly.
Jen, I hope you'll always be able to remember this evening. Love you so much!
