A Family That Has Grown by Another (+) 1 

Certainly never a dull moment for this crew; Grace's arrival is another blessing for this young family.  There might be moments of wild pandemonium going on in the walls of this family's home, but so, too, are all the feels.  I will be lucky enough to watch her grow, as the Mom is cousin's with my husband (making this family my cousin-in-laws).  

I photographed Paul and Ashley's wedding back in 2017, and have been thrilled to be called upon for all of their continued life moments, both small and large.   Welcome to the world, Grace.  May you embody charm, grace, beauty and decorum as you grow up!  You have certainly softened everyone's hearts already, as evident in the images below.  (But the family photo above cracks me up, and is a true depiction of the everyday life you have entered with two older brothers).

Starting the collection off with some "moody" black and whites (I love me some strong light and shadow).  The little "cheerio" mouth 😍 That peeling infant skin, though!  It's one of my favorite things to document (and is only present in the first few weeks of life).  It is perfectly normal for babies to experience this; as the shedding of their skin from the womb makes way for a new layer of skin for the outside world. 

This one just got bumped from the 'baby of the family' ranking.  Doesn't his expression say it all?!  

And, yes, the crib has been passed on.  Sometimes it's a bummer growing up! 

As a Mom, I would totally be in love with any of these next few images of young brother(s) snuggling with their baby sister 😍
