As I posted about earlier in the week, the part I adore most about my work is getting to know families and watching them grow. When I first met this couple four years ago, they had just had their first child. An outgoing, even-tempered sweet little guy. At his one-year-session, mom told me she was expecting baby number two. It was thrilling to spend the next year photographing the two boys. Sweet baby number two was a little bit on the shy side and at a couple of sessions he really made all of us work hard to keep him happy. However, he has now bloomed into such a sweet guy and we had an awesome session back in November.

So, I was thrilled to death when I found out I would be a part of welcoming baby number three to the growing family. This is not just any baby… it is a girl! Mom and Dad are over the moon with excitement over her arrival!

Mom had plenty of pink all around and this sweet little bow to adorn Decker’s little head.

Mom and I laughed because both of the boys were born with a head full of hair. So, in preparation, Mom bought several sweet bows. Well, little Decker came out with only a tiny bit of hair. So much for proper planning…


Do you think Daddy is just a little in love? I have watched him with three newborns and I can tell this is a little something different. Seems Miss Decker has already stolen his heart!

I love the pink as much as Mom does. It is fun to have a girl! Welcome to the world sweet Decker!
