I've had the pleasure of photographing all of Angela's kids in the hospital (see Meeting Macey and Meeting Maddox). Each one has been special and fun in their own ways: the anticipation of Macey as the first child, the joy of Maddox being the first boy, and now the pure fun of Merrick's arrival. Macey was SO excited to have another sibling. You can tell she is just in love with him. I had so much fun sharing in this time with them. And now it's time for you to meet Merrick...

Newborn Portraits
I absolutely love when my job allows me to reconnect with old friends and coworkers! I was thrilled when Heather contacted me (we used to work together) saying that she had just had her new baby girl and would love some family portraits. We had so much fun and it was such a privileged to meet such a sweet baby girl.
Leiah was born premature so she is just a tiny little bundle of joy. We did these photos just a couple weeks after she was born so she was still sleepy, tiny, and precious.
Leiah's Dad, David, is in the Marines so we had fun doing a lot of different shots with his uniform. Amazingly, the uniform survived without any accidents!
After talking with Heather and David, they let slip that they had never had portraits done of just the two of them, not to mention as a family. So while Grandma and Grandpa took a shift feeding Leiah, we snuck off to do just a couple pictures of them.
Just as a side note: I am a huge fan of making sure you have couple portraits taken at many stages of life. This isn't just because it's what I do, but because everyone needs some photographs that show the love that you feel for each other. It reminds us of whats important and gives us a visual reminder when times are tough.
David and Heather radiate love not just for each other but for Leiah too. You can tell they are going to be fabulous parents! Congrats you two! I can't wait to see Leiah through each stage of life grow in the loving environment you have created for her.
Earlier this week I was so excited and thrilled to get to meet the newest addition to a client and friend's family. On my way over to The Women's Pavillion I was full of questions. What is this little man going to be like? Does he look like his Dad? Does he look like his Mom? I couldn't wait to meet this new little person.
And the answer to all those questions is, he's perfect. He is completely himself. Meet Maddox! You may remember his big sister from Meeting Macey. They look so much alike! Although Maddox favors his Mom's darker hair.
Big Sister Macey is still adjusting to the change. But she was more than willing to lend her pacifier when Maddox was crying. Seriously, the sweetest thing ever!
Angela is a stunning Mom! I have always been impressed with how laid back and calm she is through this entire process. I love this photo of her and Maddox.
She and Dustin work very well together as a team. Something I am sure they have perfected with Macey. I can't get over the look on Grandma's face in the background, so much love!
Congratulations Dustin, Angela, and Macey! I know you guys have some long weeks ahead as you get to learn this new member of your family but I am so excited to watch and see this little man grow up.
