10 day old Owen

Oh it was so wonderful. I knew it would be. Photographing newborns is amazing on its own…  when the mommy & daddy are wonderful, old friends… makes it all the more special. Little Owen surprised everyone by being born a little earlier than anticipated… mom went into labor on Christmas night! The best Christmas present for sure. I came to visit Owen and mommy and daddy on a gorgeous Saturday morning 10 days later. We had such a wonderful time visiting and Owen slept so soundly pretty much the entire time. I couldn’t get over how amazing mommy looks, considering she just gave birth 10 days earlier! Matt & Erin-I am absolutely bursting with happiness for you both and for your beautiful baby boy. Owen, you are such a gift to this world and to your parents, who love you more than you will ever know. Welcome to the world sweet boy!
