Newborn Photo Sesh

I knew about a week before Briggs was born that I wanted to have a newborn photo session for him. They typically recommend that you get these done before they are 14 days old because they lose that "newborn look" by the third week, which was definitely true for Briggsy.

I had a few people in mind that I wanted to ask, and luckily we were able to find one of my friends (Cassandra Ginter) from the high school that could do it! She did an amazing job capturing some of our first moments with Briggs. She was also very flexible and patient that day because B was very fussy at that time and I was still dealing with the recovery of my bells palsy (as you will be able to see). I wanted to include those photos of me too because I figure they are a part of his birth story. So thank you Cassandra!

I hope you all enjoy the pics! These are so precious to us.

And just as a comparison of how QUICKLY things change...this is what he looks like right now at approx. 45 days old. I am so thankful we had his newborn pictures taken when we did. It makes me realize I need to soak up and enjoy every moment along this journey with him.

how precious are those chubby cheeks and wrist rolls? love our big boy. this is why ryan calls him the monster baby.
