I became a newborn photographer before the vast majority of my friends had children of their own. It is super exciting to be photographing the babies of my dearest friends. This past week I was able to take my 5 month old, Silas and leave home (Bellingham, WA) and fly to meet Liam, the first baby of my friend Claire! Claire and I met when I moved to Louisiana when I was 15. She was in college and volunteering as the youth intern at my church’s youth group. She mentored  me and we became great friends. When I went to college we lived together as roommates until I got married in 2005.  While we lived together she got Cabot, a golden retriever who was a puppy at the time. It was also special to include Cabot in these photos.
Welcome to the world baby Liam. You are so loved already!
