Blair made her appearance last Fall, and was just the sweetest! She gave us some sleepy baby smiles, had the cutest rosy cheeks, and is very much adored by her little family. Big sister Brie especially wanted to show off her baby sister, and gave her lots of kisses and cuddles. I have a feeling these two are going to be best friends when they grow up, just like my sister and me. :)
Welcome to the world, baby Blair!
Sometimes I get a call about doing a family session and the mom tells me there are “a lot of us”, which usually means about three or four children plus the parents. I just smile, because my definition of a large family may differ from some, as my best friend growing up was the third of eight children. :) Now I get to introduce you all to this sweet family, who I am not related to, but feel like I might as well be. Our friendship is as old as we are and I am so grateful for it! Though we live in different states and it is harder now to arrange schedules for visits, we still keep in touch as much as possible and they are among the first to know about anything important going on in our lives. We’ve created a lot of memories together, and it was a joy capturing some memories of their own for this family who we love so dearly.
Meet baby Gabe, the newest little member of our extended family! This is my husband Jimmy’s baby cousin, so does that make him my cousin-in-law? :)
I shot a wedding in Murfreesboro, and Gabe’s family graciously let me stay at their home just down the road from there so I wouldn’t have to get a hotel for the night. They asked if I could take some pictures of baby Gabe while I was in town, and of course I was happy to! Though he was a bit older than my typical newborn, he slept like a champ and we were able to get some of those sweet baby poses that are sometimes a challenge for older babies. I love his awake pictures too though, especially the one with that little smile. :) I know he is his own person and will have his own unique personality, but goodness— he reminds me so much of his big brother, EJ! It will be fun to see how little Gabe differs from his brother as he gets older, both in looks and personality.
Welcome to the world, baby Gabe! We’re so glad you’re here!
