welcome little brother

this little boy's beginning was steeped in love. it was an honor to document his arrival. this was a true baby day kind of session-starting with a text at 630am that the midwife was on her way. i loved watching the big sisters go from calm excited to anxious excited to true love and joy in an instant.  it was an amazing experience and i was thrilled to get to return to their lovely house a week or so later and do more family pictures. they are natural and loving with each other in a way that is rare and beautiful and makes me remember that the interaction is often my favorite part of a photograph. you can worry about lighting and background-but what most often makes a photograph special is the feeling that is portrayed by the people in it.
