Baby Reed [Brainerd, MN Newborn Photography]

I consider it a huge honor to be able to go and meet with a couple who is anxiously anticipating the arrival of their new baby. Even more so if it's their first baby, as the excitement seems to be even more compounded by the near arrival of fresh parenthood. Then, the honor grows even larger when I am invited back again, this time - to photograph that new arrival. The new baby that has made a couple turn into a family.

Shawna and Joe, thank you for inviting me into your home and for letting me meet Collin. Those lips of his are to die for! xoxo, Laura

P.S. I'm feeling in the mood for black and white photos today for some reason, so here are a few of them.
