New Kid on the Block

What would maternity and birth sessions be without some newborn portraits to complete the set?

In this instance, however, the only mess I saw was a pile of papers on the dining room table... which I then realized was an organized stack of thank-you cards waiting to be addressed. Guys, seriously: you're making the rest of us look bad!
