Whenever I do a newborn shoot I find myself envying the parents. They get to stay home and be cozy with their sweet new baby. Sit on the couch, watch netflix and admire that sweet baby. There is something so magical about that time. But then I soon find myself remember how wonderful AND challenging, caring for a newborn is. No sleep, constant diaper changes, and a baby that needs to eat every two hours (or less), plus all the other things my tired brain forgot about. It’s so demanding. It’s amazing how awful and yet amazing that experience can be. When I really think about it, that is a great beginning to the start of parenthood.

Naomi is one lucky baby. Casey and Dan are so loving and tender with their baby girl. I’m excited to watch them blossom in this new role of mom and dad.
