Christian is 2 Months Old!

Our sweet little nugget is 2 months old today. Here he is yawning and getting a good stretch in on the beach in the early morning.

He has been cooing and babbling away now. He just loves to tell you all about it!

Summer days...

Liam enjoyed a fun evening with his uncle's bright orange body board on the beach. Summer days at the beach are great memories. Thanks, Uncle Brett!
Here he is mastering the art of the board... and playing his favorite game of "ker-plunk".

1 Month Old!

Oh, my sweet little butter ball of love... Christian turned 1 month old on June 18th, and boy, has he filled out since the day he was born! Where is the time going? He is such a sweetie and like his brother, he's a super-snuggle-bug. It doesn't get better than this! I love this little man. xoxo

Welcome, Baby D!

Welcome, little baby D! When family friends inquired about having me photograph their little guy months before he was born, I knew it would be tricky, since my little guy's due date was 10 days earlier than theirs, but I wanted to make it happen for them. We pulled off a mini-shoot and I am so happy I got to meet & photograph, little D. He's so beautiful! My little Christian slept in his swing throughout the shoot and Liam was with Daddy at music class for most of the time, so we made it work! Thanks, S, for keeping Liam entertained towards the end of the visit- he enjoyed having you here! Congrats, S & D on a gorgeous baby boy! <3

 This blanket was D's father's baby blanket - I LOVE the sentimentality!

Welcome, Our LIttle Christian!

Welcome to the world, little Christian Michael Finnegan!

We are just so in love with our new baby. Christian was born on May 18th, 2012 at 11:55am. He was 6 lbs. 13 oz & 19.75 inches long. His brother, Liam (21 months old), has welcomed him so lovingly.


 Here are photos from his photo shoot at 5 days old. I shot them in our bedroom. Christian was 4 days old for the image I shot (above) for his birth announcement. Just look at that sweet little face... We are feeling very blessed!
