“If I have a monument in this world, it is my son.”

~Maya Angelou

This sweet little man was just a joy to meet–and his wonderful family, too!  They were referred to me first via Louisiana, then from a friend in Texas–thanks J and A!    They are so happy to welcome their little tiger (it is the Chinese year of the tiger, and that was his nickname  while he was inside mommy–adorable, right?!), and he is just so precious.   I just loved this session–from the beautiful design of the nursery, to the amazing green velvet chair to the great conversation…I could have stayed forever!  I particularly love when items with sentimental value are used for newborn sessions.  It just touched me when grandma told me that this beautiful chest that the little guy is snoozing on was passed down through several generations.  She reminisced of lining it with paper to take it to college, and noted the lovely handles her own father had made.   I hope they will, as the years pass by, find happiness and meaning in looking back at this photograph of their sweetie on this chest.  Their protective doggie is even in the background keeping a watchful eye on her new brother. 

Thank you for choosing me to document this amazing time in your lives, it was an honor and a pleasure to meet you.  Enjoy your sneak peeks!
