This session was another special one.
I’ve had the honor of knowing Anna for over 10 years—we’ve worked together (okay, maybe not literally side by side—she’s a music teacher and I teach ELA, but you get the idea 
). Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to capture some of her biggest milestones. I photographed her wedding and had the joy of getting to know David and Kane, so when she shared the news of her pregnancy, we were all overjoyed for her growing family.
Her little one came to my studio wide awake and so alert—something I rarely see in newborn sessions. Every time I spoke to her, she responded with the sweetest smiles, as if she was handing them out for free. And let me tell you, it wasn’t just gas—this girl knew what she was doing. I can already tell she’s going to be a genius! Of course, once the camera came out, she made me work for those smiles. I wasn’t able to get any on camera by the way–stinker!
Eventually, we got her to sleep, which was extra important because I had something special planned—a tribute to someone dear who couldn’t be here to meet her, but who is surely smiling down on her every single day.
