I’ll never tire of documenting women and men becoming mothers and fathers, and couples becoming families after a baby joins their family, so it’s no surprise that I loved spending an afternoon with Eliza, Mike & their new baby Grace. The added bonus was that Grandma (Eliza’s mom) was still in town helping out so I got to include her as well! It was so apparent that Eliza and her mom share a really special bond, so I’m so glad she was there to be in some of the photos. I can remember how much I needed my mom when I had my babies, so I’m so glad that Eliza can count on her mom for help and advice too.
Since Baby G is Mike & Eliza’s first child, there was a lot of snuggling and loving on her. I love the photos that show their true everyday right now: needing 3 sets of hands to change the baby’s outfit, hanging out on the rocking chair in the nursery, and watching TV in the family room while nursing. Dad seems to really love his sweet daughter, and mom seems really happy as well. One of their kitties joined us for photos, and she is just the cutest, protective mother cat to Baby G!
Thanks guys, for trusting me to document this really amazing time in the life of your family!
