Last fall Stephanie walked up to my table at the Seacoast Mom & Baby Expo with that adorable pregnant belly of hers, pushing a stroller with her sweet boy Easton in it chillin’ out with a snack in hand. We immediately hit it off, both of us tearing up together over how difficult the transition from one child to two children is: how will I love my second child as much as I love the first? how will I have one on one time? How will I feed my new baby with a two year old jumping on our heads? You know, the real stuff your scared s%*tless about! AND they moved here from Alaska so she was also learning a whole new place to be a mama. After we cleaned off our running mascara we talked about what she was really looking for – a Fresh 48 session done at Wentworth Douglass Hospital after baby was born, and a newborn session at home. Boom. Done. Then we just had to wait for baby to decide to show up!

Kinley Marie arrived January 9th and I was there to document her life, 48 hours new! I am so lucky! Kinley showed off her rock star, super duper adorable cheeks (I mean, COME ON!), mama looked gorgeous and was completely enamored with her sweet girl, so much so it brought her to tears. Beautiful, real tears for her baby, her son, and her husband – and this incredible life they have made together. There was so much love in that room!
