I had the pleasure of photographing adorable Annelise and her parents recently. She is the first baby for this sweet couple and is just as precious as anything! She had such beautiful features and skin…and you can tell mom and dad are head over heels in love with their newest blessing. Thank you, Gina & Blake, for allowing me to photograph you all and your beautiful baby girl. It was an honor. The following is a brief statement from Gina to share with you all:

“My husband and I found out in late January that we would be expecting our first child. We were thrilled at week 16 when we were told it would be a girl. To prepare for her, we took several classes offered through the hospital including child safety and newborn care. Everything was going smoothly until at week 35 when we were told she was in the breech position. I tried everything to get her to flip, but nothing worked. We scheduled a c-section.

With her due date 4 days from my birthday, I decided she would be the best birthday present I would ever receive. I was so glad to have my husband with me during the surgery, and the doctors were so thoughtful to announce when her feet, shoulders, and head were delivered. I remember feeling so content when I heard her first cry. Life with a newborn has been a difficult adjustment. I am so thankful for the support of my husband and family to help me through it.

Twelve days after Annelise was born, we had a photo shoot with April. April was so good and patient with Annelise when she would cry and fuss. It was such a calming environment for us as a new family, and we have beautiful pictures to remember it by all thanks to April.” – Gina
