Zara came into this world much sooner than her family was anticipating, but she’s a fighter and also got to go home from the hospital sooner too!  Her doctor was shocked at how quickly she nearly doubled her birth weight (she was a bit over 6 lbs at the session).

I’m shocked at how smiley this little lady was.

Zara and her beautiful mama both have names that mean types of flowers.  How sweet is that?

Hey!  There’s another smile.

And some more…

She rivals one of my other smiley little guys this year in amount of smiles.  I love photographing happy babies!

There’s something about these shots of this mama and her perfect new one that really get to me.  Pure love.

So much happiness in this little family!

So much sweetness.

Quite a bit of cuteness going on as well.

It was a pleasure to be able to capture some of your joy.

I photographed Riggs’ big brother Wyatt  as a newborn last year and here he is now!  I can’t get over those red lips and blue eyes!

Here’s Riggs!  They look similar, but Riggs has bigger cheeks :).  They were actually the exact same weight when they were born, even though Riggs came a bit earlier.

We even got a little smile from him :).

It was so fun to see Wyatt again and get to photograph his baby brother!
