A New Blessing...

What a fun month!!  One of my close and beautiful friends gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Otto!!  She asked me in the early summer if I would be willing to take pictures during his first few days of life.  To say that I was excited would be an understatement!  All of the sleepy pictures that I see on photographer blogs and Pinterest would become a reality behind my lens!  Oh boy!!  Literally!

We decided to start with a few family portraits while the day was still warm.  Otto's big brother is getting used to the idea of this baby, but he is doing great!!  I had the privilege of photographing him last year and it is incredible to see how much he has grown and changed in one year.  This childhood stuff passes us by so quickly!  This is what makes this job so awesome...the ability to "savor" life's moments.  

Here is a sneak peek...

I love this family so much!!  And, Frannie, I must stand on my soapbox for a moment and say, you look amazing...if I didn't know you, I would not believe that you were 6 days post baby!!  Incredible!

NOW, for the "star" of the day...

One of my FAVORITES!!!  I think he might be smiling courtesy of "mom's" touch.  :)

Thank you Otto and family for such a great experience!  You are such a blessing and I wish you all health, happiness, and many more blessings.  Looking forward to watching you grow even more this year!!

XO,

Jodi
