A Very-Sweet Newborn Lifestyle Session

I typed and retyped this opening sentence five times because there is so much I could say about this family; namely the beautiful lady pictured above and below! Taryn is hands down, one of the greatest friends I have ever been blessed to have. She has supported me in COUNTLESS ways over the last 1.5 years of our friendship, and it was an absolute honor to spend a couple hours with Nick & Taryn to document these precious early days, enjoying the company of baby #2 and adjusting to life as a family of four!!

Not pictured in any of these photos are my FOUR, very energetic little people, whom accompanied me for this morning!! Taryn and Nick were troopers to entertain an additional 5 folks in their home, with the majority being under the age of 7, ha!! You guys are the best.

These photos turned out so beautiful, and trust me when I tell you that it’s always an easy session when your subjects are as beautiful, loving, and genuine as the family in this blog post. It’s always hard to pick a favorite photos in every session, and especially those featuring friends… but I’ll always be partial to mom, dad, and siblings holding their new miracle in their arms. Those photos are the most beautiful to me.

Just to recap on how amazing of a friend Taryn has been…..

Not only has the lady brought food and meals to my door before, but she has also arranged for her and Nick to accompany me to the Easter Vigil this past spring to help me with the kids in mass since Austin was directly involved as a Catechumen and sat in a different location in the church for 3 hours. Taryn and Nick also came to Axel’s baptism and took pictures for me and my extended family, and Taryn has helped me with our Rosary group from day 1. There’s not enough space to mention the countless other tangible and intangible gifts of friendship Taryn has given to our family.

And then, going above and beyond… Taryn has invested so much LOVE into my business and has referred me to family and friends numerous times! She is such a gift to me. See their very first session with me last year HERE! For as often as I give social media a hard time, I’m thankful that it has brought people like this into my life. (Shoutout to Blessed Is She!)

I hope you love these pictures as much as I do! Taryn and Nick, thank you so much for your love and support, and trusting me to capture these moments for your family! Love you guys!!!
