Joe and Liz had a baby and it is finally time for the world to meet their gorgeous girl! Liz radiates beauty and grace and is the sweetest mama. Joe and Liz are both so happy their baby has arrived. Their house was filled with scattered receiving blankets, baby gear, flowers from the hospital stay, and the essence of fresh new life. These tiny items seem like they have been there forever, and their presence creates such a happy home. It is easy to get lost in snuggling new babies at a newborn session, and I had to remind myself to stay on task. Take pictures. Stop admiring all of the cuteness.

I really should have played some calm, soothing, top 40 and rap for this wide awake girl. She wanted little to do with sleeping in the peace and quiet of the house when I arrived, she is clearly used to her mom’s favorite tunes 🙂 This sweet girl wanted to stay awake and enjoy her photos, I am sure she was basking in all of the attention I poured on her. She barely peeped a cry the entire time, watching me, cooing, and making the most adorable expressions. I am incredibly happy for Liz and Joe and their entire family.

Congratulations again to this amazing couple! I hope their first year as a family is as awesome as Liz and Joe. Kisses and hugs and everything nice to your babe.
