an entire family of miracles

last week, i was honored to be able to photograph a miracle family.  truly.  three months ago, jack was born into the family – three months premature!  he spent many weeks in the hospital, and he has already had heart surgery.  he’s got about a 4 inch scar on his back – i had no idea heart surgery on preemies went through the back.  he is doing great now though, and just as cute as can be.  two years ago, i met jack’s family when his big brother, sam, came in for his newborn photos.  sam was also born a few months early, and to see him today, you’d never know! he’s just a spitfire now, running around and playing.  it was so fun just watching him. 

the whole family came to the studio last week  for jack’s first photo session.  jack is still so tiny, and he was so calm.  he let me do just about anything with his posing, and we got the sweetest images.  a couple of him and his mommy are just breathtaking.  she is a very calm person and jack was just so relaxed when she was near.  it was just beautfiul.   lucky for me, he actually let me hold him too!  here are some of the images we were able to capture during the session.  i think you can see both boys’ personalities perfectly!  -wham
