  Meet my newest Milestones baby!  He made it into the studio a bit later than the usual 2 weeks or younger that is recommended for newborn photos, but with some time and patience, we were able to capture some beautiful photos of this adorable 4 week old boy and his doting big sisters.  I can’t wait to see them all again in 6 months!  To see more of my work and for information on the Milestones program, make sure to visit my main website!
