I seriously don’t even know where to start with these two! I KNEW this day was going to be great, but I had no idea just how fun, gorgeous and crazy emotional it would be. I think it’s safe to say every single guest, right down to us photographers, have never felt so welcome and so emotionally attached to a couple! These two have something about them that is just magical, and it was only after I met and spent the day with their insanely supportive and insanely FUN families did I fully understand it. Just you wait.

Oh baby AJ, we just can’t get enough of you!  At six months old, baby AJ was preparing to celebrate his first holiday season and Krista was able to spend some time with his family.  AJ’s grin just gets bigger and more dimple-licious with each passing month!

Baby AJ – One Month Old Newborn Portrait Session

It’s amazing how different a newborn looks just a few short weeks after birth!  This little cutie has grown a bunch of hair and has cheeks that just BEG for kisses.  Krista visited Jennifer, YiFeng and AJ at their home just a couple of weeks after they left the hospital.

I know it’s impossible to believe, but this kid just continues to get cuter and cuter. (No, seriously, Pam is in the other room *literally* editing pictures of AJ at his current age of 18 months and the cuteness factor continues to be off the chart!)  Stay tuned for a peek at AJ at six months in a few days!  I promise you will not be disappointed!

Baby AJ – Newborn Portrait Session at Hospital

Last year Krista had the incredibly special opportunity to photograph the arrival of her dear friends Jennifer & YiFeng’s first born son! Alexander Justus, baby AJ, arrived healthy and perfect in every way!  Krista was able to go into the delivery room just a few moments after he was born, she still talks about what an honor it was to be one of the first people to meet this special little boy.  (She also may or may not have been scarred for life by the experience, but clearly, it was worth it)  ;)
