Not every newborn has the perfect beginning, and many of the clients I have worked with have overcome challenges on their road to becoming a family. This tiny warrior is one of those babies; he was born at just 30 weeks and a little over three pounds! He is a fighter, and after seven weeks in the NICU, he is thriving. His sweet family is so proud of him, and they are all pretty obsessed…can you blame them?! Jake and Kim (mom and dad) have been together about a decade, and have been married for six years. They are proud parents to big sis Harper (age four and attending preschool), and of course, brand new Barrett. Mom shared, “This pregnancy was challenging, but we have been able to thankfully overcome them all. We are so thrilled for the opportunity to celebrate his firsts, milestones, and more. Babies change so quickly in the first year of life, and I am glad I have Brittany to capture those moments for us!” Although its difficult to re-live those first traumatic days, mom said that the most memorable part of her journey with Barrett was being able to hold him 24 hours after his birth, and knowing he survived. In fact, his name means “bear strength”!
As a foursome, the family enjoys spending time outside, especially at their family farm filled with goats! Harper especially loves to help with projects around the house, and they are all adjusting to the new “normal” that comes with adding a family member. Their family values are always love, family, and respect! I love working with their wonderful family, and am so grateful they keep returning to me for these moments. “What I loved about hiring Brittany is that she always has everything covered”, adds mom, “I can always just sit back, relax, and watch her work her magic. She answered all my questions at my booking, and told me what I needed to do to get amazing photos. She has it down to a science!”
Thank you, Jake and Kim, for sharing your family with me!
