Dear photographer parents of the world. Get in your photos every once in awhile. Your kids will thank you later.

There’s a new kid to shoot these days around here — our little baby boy arrived into our lives last week. Welcome Ian Christopher! We are all so happy to have him here, and Sophia is probably the most excited of all. Big sister adores her new little brother.
