He's Here...







A few short weeks ago I had the opportunity to create some maternity photographs for a fantastic young, successful couple, John and Kristina. They were eagerly expecting the birth of their first child around the second week in June. Well I am extremely happy to say that a beautiful baby boy, Christian Lee, was even more excited to see them! He was born a little early (May 26th) but more importantly he was born healthy and strong. Unfortunately in the work I do for the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Organization, I get to see far too many babies born early who do not even survive. As difficult as that process is, this obviously is such a wonderful experience which I am truly honored to be entrusted with to create such important memories of this child of God. As often is the case upon finishing a session, I often think of the images that I didn't have time to create. Yet at the same time I certainly know how exhausting it is having a newborn so I try to tread lightly. He was a joy to photograph and he has some great parents to guide him through the years. I hope you enjoy the samples I have included here.

I've known Christian's mommy my whole life. She is such a dear friend I love her so much. I've been anxiously waiting to see pictures of him. I already have so much love for this precious baby. The photos are beautiful. John and Kristi are truly blessed and I wish them nothing but happiness with their newest family member!
