Finley | Newborn

Ohhhhh, it’s so hard not to just completely gush about this beautiful family! They are truly one of the most loving families I’ve had the joy to be around. Although they started off as clients (I photographed their wedding!) we became great friends! It’s been such a joy and a blessing to watch them continue their love by expanding their family. I always look forward to seeing them, whether it’s to share a meal or capture one of the family milestones! Welcome to the World, sweet Finley! You are destined to do great things!

Of course, I have to show off how ridiculously cute Big Sis, Bella, is! While I was photographing Finley, we had a barbie wedding in the living room, she became a mermaid in her bedroom, played guitar for us, and totally doted on her new brother.

I told Dad to “say Cheese” and Finley gladly obliged! When does that actually work!?

Baby Shower for Finley!

In general, I think Baby Showers are a lot of fun. There's good food, sweet decorations, a gorgeous glowing Momma-to-be, and let's not forget those party games! However, one of my new favorite things is Co-Ed Baby Showers! I love that everything came together so perfectly for Vanessa and Brian's shower. There was nothing but joy as they celebrate becoming parents for the second time! 

These details were delicate and adorable!

Finley was definitely an active participant in his shower! I think it's funny how at this stage you can just see how hard they are kicking!

First party game! All the name tags were the guest's baby photos! Can you spot mine?!

Just a little Daddy/Daughter time!

The cupcakes were a hit for Bella!

Second party game! If you say "Baby" you lose your clothespin! These competitive guys were making a sweep!

Third fun game! Everyone passes around yarn and takes a guess at how big that belly actually is!

These party guests were just the cutest!

Last Game! Melted candy bars in diapers, gotta guess which one it is!

Bella and her friends had an entire playground to themselves and they were having a blast!

I was so excited to be apart of this special moment in my friend's lives! It's pretty awesome being a photographer and watching people fall in love and families grow. It really is the best!
