newborns are pretty amazing. it’s the way they smell like hope and new beginnings. it’s the way they can’t speak or do any tricks but have this ability to captivate an audience just by being. and it’s the power that a boy who weighs only 6 pounds has to turn a full grown man into mush.




i love this morning light. but more than that, i love how they can't keep their lips off of him

time for a little wardrobe change. umm..he was not a fan.

his best pals looked on sympathetically

ahhh much better. toasty and happy.

love that perfect peel-y skin


yup, magnets in his cheeks

right before i took this last picture, i lowered my camera and stared. i was struck by the way joey's chin rested on his beautiful wife's shoulder and his hand rubbed his little man's head. even though i was pretty sure that i knew the answer, i asked if right at this moment they were thinking, 'life has never been this sweet.' they didn't take their eyes off their little love but answered yes. i raised my camera and adjusted my exposure. snap.
