Worth the wait...

What can I say, it has been a while since I have hopped on the "blog" bandwagon.  Life is funny that way...sometimes we are on top of the details and sometimes, life swoops us away for a mini-break.  I would like to say that I am so honored and grateful that my return blog post is about this next family.  Late last year, I learned that Ashley was expecting their second child.  It was a complete surprise and wonderful news!!  You see, the back story to this pregnancy is that she and her husband, Jason have been through some difficult procedures/times over the past few years.  They eventually threw in the towel and began dabbling in the adoption field.  To their surprise, Ashley became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy, Brody, defying many odds.  What makes this story incredibly sweet is the fact that out of 365 days out of the year, he arrived on Ashley's mom's birthday, who we know is looking at her from heaven above with adoring & proud mommy eyes.  :)  This family is so blessed and I love them so much.

When she called me to take family pictures, I was thrilled.  AND, so was my son who got to tag along for a play date with their oldest, Cooper.  I must say, Cooper & Brody were incredibly easy to work with! It was a super treat for this photographer!  Now, let's take a sneak peek...







 One of my favorites....

 Okay, maybe this one is my favorite...

 Or this one...

 Definitely this one!!

Cooper is already on his way to being an awesome big brother!!

Ashley and Jason, I wish you all many, many years of happiness and love with your family of 4!!  Thank you so much for hiring me to capture your new little blessing!  We love you all so much and look forward to more play dates and watching these little ones grow!  Happy Spring!
