I'm so excited to finally be posting the photos from baby Jace's newborn and family portrait session. My husband, Toby, grew up with baby Jace's mom, Maria. When we learned that she was expecting with her new husband, Mike, we were thrilled for their large family. Toby and I went out to visit them at their home in Millersville, PA and took family photos on a Sunday afternoon. Though it stormed during the whole session and we weren't able to take photos in their beautiful backyard, I think we came away with wonderful photos from inside their home. Though most photographers would prefer the infant to be napping through the session because it is a lot easier to place the newborn for all the photos, Jace had other plans. He was awake and alert for most of the session and I have a bunch of photos with him looking right at the camera. He is such a beautiful baby and I am so happy for Maria and Mike and their older children. Their family is wonderful and I am just so happy I could photograph them so they will be able to look back on the photos with fondness of when Jace was first born. Congratulations Brown family!

We started with photos of the whole family in the parents' king-sized bed.
What a big and happy family!

| Since he is a July baby, we took over one of our sunflower's from our garden for him to pose with. He liked to play with it and waved it around like a wand. | |
