What a precious *little* one! At 3-months old, she is just about the same size as my youngest one when she was born. Sweet E joins a family full of love – from her parents to her extended family on both sides – she is one lucky girl (I know this because Jen and Alok are friends of the family.). She got lots of kisses from her mom and dad, as well as the family dog. She seemed totally at ease during our whole session, testing out her emerging neck strength, feeling the grass with her toes, and topping it off with a super-quick-bounce-to-sleep for a little snooze (my little ones would need 45 minutes of bouncing to fall asleep!).

Thanks so much, Jen and Alok, for the privilege of photographing the newest member of the family. Can’t wait to see more of her in the coming year.

One last side note: be sure to check out Alok’s hilarious shirt. Love it.

Cupcake, the family’s beloved bulldog, “greets” me every time I come to their house with a resounding hello combined with protective overtones. These days, she has a lot more to be protective of with baby L on the scene. Baby L joins one of the sweetest families I’ve had the pleasure of photographing over the years. The oldest of three, A was one of my first newborns to photograph almost five years ago. Then came D with some of the longest eyelashes I’ve ever seen. And now sweet little L joins the team, helping to even out the score a bit for lovely Tracy. This little girl will get her fill of blocks, trains, and rough-housing with these two as big brothers. And more than her share of love, of course. Biggest brother couldn’t get enough of her while D is still trying to understand his new role and is making sure he gets his share of attention, as well (don’t worry, I’m a middle child, too, and it’s awesome!).

Dean and Tracy, I couldn’t be happier for you all. Isn’t it amazing how big our hearts can grow? So many hugs to you!
