Aurora was my very first newborn photo shoot! She was 1 week old! I love little toes, little noses, little fingers, cute cheeks, and pretty much everything there is to a baby. I was very excited to photograph Aurora. She was an angel during the entire photo shoot and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Bethany, her mom, originally wanted some photographs of Aurora to send to her husband, Matt, who was away and in the military. Luckily, he was able to return for the birth of his daughter. Prior to Aurora’s arrival, Matt painted a beautiful, bright painting for Aurora and her new bedroom. We were able to use the painting as a backdrop for some of the photos, which was perfect! The last photograph of the blog just melts my heart. Since Matt is away from home sometimes, this quote is left on the wall for the occasional reminder: “Life takes you to unexpected places. Love brings you home.”
