A New Baby Boy

It was about a year ago that I visited the Jones family in their beautiful old home in Raleigh to photograph their sweet little girl, Jackie. I saw her mother again at Leigh-Ann and Harrison's wedding and she asked that I come out and photograph their baby boy soon after his birth. Baby McLain was born right on time so I was lucky to come and meet him at five days old! The house was filled with that perfect mixture of excitement, love, activity, and delirious exhaustion that a newborn brings with him into the world. When I arrived McLain had just finished feeding and was very alert which allowed the camera to see his beautiful eyes. When he went in for another feeding and a nap, I had a chance to play with his big sister, Jackie. Her curls have grown in to the perfect little girl length.. so sweet! Once McLain was fully asleep we got more photographs of him in dreamland... here are just a few of the images from the day....

Thanks Andrew! If you watch the slideshow on the proofing site, please forgive the music selection, the site doesn't allow me to choose my own music! Anyway, thanks for having me over :) I love your family :)
