Hey, Jude

Last night we had the privilege of photographing a brand new baby boy, Jude, with his family in the hospital. This is a project that Aron has been wanting to get started for quite a while, and we were finally able to get something going. Some of our absolute favorite photographs of our children are the ones that I took while still in the hospital. As all parents know, these early moments are gone so fast. Nothing will bring you back to those first days like looking at those first photographs.

John and Shawna invited us into their hospital room to capture these precious first moments with the newest member of their family. Abbey, Jack, and Cole were there to join in the celebration. It was so amazing to see how the older kids interacted with their new baby brother. This is such a beautiful family, both inside and out, and we feel extremely blessed to help them document this exciting time.

    Collin & Aron- how do I say thank you for capturing memories that are forever etched in my mind and on my heart? You truly captured our family of 6- I don’t know how you took the chaos of our hopsital room and made it look so peaceful and picture perfect! I am in your debt for allowing our families and friends peek into our life at one of our most cherished times! Thank you seems like not enough to say, but I am so appreciative!ReplyCancel
