Walking into homes of newborns makes me automatically long for the days of the newness of life. There is something about a home with a new little person that just outpours with hope and joy. Yes, there are also tired eyes and weary minds yet underneath it all, there exists a sense of belonging that you just can't manufacture. If I could manufacture that feeling, then I would be living in an old, yet remodeled mansion on Belmont Blvd. (non-nashvillians that means a really big, expensive house) :) So I try to breathe it in and take a little bit of it home with me as my 5 year old whines and my 2 year old throws a tantrum. I want to remember the hope that we breathed as the newness settled into our home for the first time. The newness is definitely settling into this charming home of now a family of three. And their new sweet boy is brimming with beautiful, scrumptious baby love. He stayed awake almost the entire shoot but was amazing throughout it all. Thank you so much for inviting me in to your home and spending time with your beautiful baby boy. It was a joy!
