James’ mom is a rockstar – going through nursing school, working at clinicals, all while also bringing a new life into the world.  No big deal, right?

James was a sweetheart for his session, and I got to use some of my favorite tones – oranges, tans, all those warm neutrals that make my heart happy.  And I know that James makes *his* mom’s heart happy, so it’s just happiness all around.

Here’s some of my favorites from James’ session <3 Their family pose was a request by them  – James’ dad had a photo of being held by his own dad in this way, and so it was very special to recreate that pose with his own son. I loved the way it turned out, and the meaning behind it.
