Normally, when it comes to black and white versus color… and I’m a huge fan of color photos!

But for newborn photos… there’s just something pure and lovely about newborns that can only be conveyed through the lens of black and white.

The snuggles and smells and squishiness of this new little creature are instantly captivating and the whole world seems to slow down to a crawl.

And as a mom, having a baby is like meeting your absolute FAVORITE person… for the very first time.

It’s a mix of beauty and pain, tears and laughter, and far less poetic things (but VERY normal things) like poop and milk and blood and sweat.

Glamorous and mundane. This is parenthood.

You guys. I can’t even begin to tell you how incredibly happy I am for you!! Your little man is the sweetest and watching you parent him melts my heart. I can’t wait for him to grow up with ALL of your love! XOXO
