One of the joys of being a part of such a big moment in my clients’ lives is watching them grow from there. I come in at a big transition, and sometimes I get called back in for other changes, like new additions. Shawn and Randall had Baby R just a couple weeks before I came to their house to do a few portraits and document a little sliver of their lives as new parents.

We shot in their home, as that is where new parents spend all of their time. I believe the “normal” is beautiful – the wonder, discovery, gratitude and also the exhaustion, the spit-ups, the poopy diapers. Life is short. Photos help. Doggies too.

(S&R – don’t worry. I gave you a ton of color photos too. I just thought the black and white worked well for the setting.)














Baby R is so tiny! Congratulations, guys.

I love that one of the baby crying in the tub. I agree – the B&W helps you focus on the feeling of the photos. Beautiful pictures!
