Our good friends Jess and Tony had their first baby this spring. His name is Henry, and he quite the doll! Currently they reside in San Fransisco, so it was hard not being able to rush over and meet the little guy when he first arrived. We were thrilled when Henry came to Cincinnati for a long visit, even bringing his family with him. :) Of course, he needed his first official photo-shoot!

The sun broke up a really wet spell we’ve been experiencing here in Cincinnati and gave us a lovely day to photograph them all. What a sweet blessing it is seeing your friends blossom from couple to family.

One of my dearest friends recently gave birth to her second son. I had the incredible honor of documenting his entrance into the world, and then around a week later Brett and I photographed Archer with his new loving family. His big brother Elijah, who had his own newborn session with us, is just completely smitten with his new pal. He loves and squeezes him, and now calls him his “best friend.”

It makes me overjoyed to witness my dear friend with this sweet little life. What a gift each child is to their family, and a tremendous growth in blessing.

Jess and Trey, thank you for allowing us to be a part of this newest chapter. We love watching our families grow up beside each other. :)  Much love!
