above ~ can a baby’s face get any more kissable? this is my second shoot for jessica and patrick! i always feel lucky when i get to follow a couple from their beginning and on as they grow into a family. welcome to within jess and patrick’s home ~ a lifestyle shoot with their new little one ~ weston pierce. this was done on day three of weston’s life. what comes to mind are the words to harry nilsson’s ~ the puppy song ~ “dreams are nothing more than wishes and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true”. when jessica sat in the rocker with her baby, she cried and said it was what she dreamed of… the first time she would rock and read to her baby boy. it was pure emotion. as i have worked through these images, i remembered how sure jessica was that this moment of documentation was critical ~ therefore ~ i spent three hours in the midst of this adorable family. touching new life is like candy to me ~ so sweet!
