**Scheduling note — my maternity leave is starting in the next week or so.  I’m currently accepting bookings for maternity, newborn, and Baby’s First Year sessions for October 2014 or later.**

The little fella I want to share with you today is baby Patrick, who was just 8 days old for his photo session.  His family unfortunately went through quite a bit of heartbreak during the pregnancy.  Sadly, Patrick’s Daddy passed away from cancer before he was born.  So, we of course incorporated a lot of things that had been special to Patrick’s Daddy, including his army uniforms, some special hats, wedding rings, etc.  Patrick’s Mommy is so wonderful and was one of the kindest, funniest people despite everything she’s been through.  I’m so happy she has baby Patrick in her life, and I hope to see more of them as Patrick gets bigger!

Here are my favorites from Patrick’s newborn session.
