Image
  What a sweet little baby!!! We had fun with Grayson and his mommy during his session. He was such an expressive little dude! We absolutely loved having him come in for his newborn session, and we got some great poses from him! He was very relaxed and loved being swaddled! We could tell he has his mom wrapped right around his finger, their bond is so strong already. Thank you for checking out Grayson's shoot. Hope you enjoy! T. H. Peterson: What was your first thought when you saw Grayson? Amanda Conway: Oh my goodness.... I just made this tiny human. Wow, I’m tired. T. H. P.: What was your labor like? Amanda Conway: It was super quick. Water broke at 630. Was admitted at 730. He was born at 10:57. I had no pain medication, but my better half Blake Allen was able to help me through it. I have to say he did an amazing job even though we both knew he probably didn’t know what to do. I sat on an exercise ball for what felt like 10 minutes, walked for about 10 steps and...

 What a cute baby!!! We had fun with Jack photographing his session. He was such a great little subject! I loved his Jayhawk hat. I felt honored to do his session and the second photo is a book that dad reads to him. I could tell when dad saw the photos that he really loved them. He is such a proud father. And when we did the shoot, mom was there and the connection you can see in the last photos of the blog are really special. You can just tell how much she cherishes her little man. Thank you for checking out Jack's shoot. Hope you enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What was your first thought when you saw Jack? Courtney: I just remember thinking "oh my gosh- he's perfect!" and my husband and I bawled our eyes out when we heard him start crying. T.H. P.: How did you come up with his name?
