I was so happy go get to photograph the Madden family again, as they welcomed another adorable addition to their family. The last time I had the pleasure of capturing their precious moments was during Madison's newborn session. Now she has been promoted to the role of big sister to this handsome little guy, Jack.

Jack’s nursery is decorated in soothing light blue tones adorned with adorable woodland animals, it was the perfect backdrop for our session. However, my absolute favorite moment from the session occurred right at the beginning. It was an unscripted, heartwarming scene where Maddie peered through the crib at her baby brother, Jack. These candid, genuine family moments are what make these sessions truly special.

I love creating these memories using all the fun baby essentials and harnessing the soft, natural window light. It allows me to freeze this incredibly precious period in life with a new little one. Time seems to slip away all too quickly, especially when you're a parent caught up in the whirlwind of exhaustion and joy.

When I get to see families periodically, there is always the opportunity to build upon previous memories. In Madison's session, we captured a beautiful image of their three hands together, symbolizing their family's unity. This time, with the arrival of Jack, we added another hand to the picture, celebrating the growth and love that continues to blossom. As I write this, it makes me so grateful to have the privilege of being there to capture such sweet and important moments for my clients throughout the years.
