So most of you who follow this blog know how much I love my job. Today made it extra especially lovable. My best guy friend and his wife had a baby last night! I wasn’t at the birth, but I was invited to come in today while they were still in the hospital and make images. I was excited, happy beyond words, actually, for my friends. And getting to get in there and hold her early on… well, that’s just a bonus of my job! She had just finished eating when I arrived, which usually means one sleepy baby. Not Brooklyn! She was alert and active the entire hour I was there photographing. She is sweet and calm and just plain beautiful. Congratulations, Jordan and Julie!!! We truly could not be happier for the THREE of you! I’m looking forward to summers at the pool together!


She’s already a Mizzou fan. There’s some punk Jayhawk baby down the hall, so we had to put her MU gear on!
