A first time for everything

I had the honor of experiencing a miracle with a great friend of mine. She was due to have her baby on her very own birthday and the baby is her and her husband's first, not to mention the first grandchild on both sides, and the first opportunity I've had the joy in being a part of it first hand (without being in labor myself of course). 

From the soon-to-be mommy packing a suitcase full of clothes for the baby's two-day stay in the hospital, to watching new dad get acquainted with his baby girl who had his finger wrapped around hers way before she was ever born, I relished the entire day with them awaiting for Riley Grace's arrival. 

Not only did she arrive on her mom's birthday, she was also the exact same weight and length. One really can say, "Like mother, like daughter."

After Riley Grace was home for just under a week, I was able to visit with them and capture her in her own nursery at home. She is already spoiled with love and it was fun and difficult to get any shots of her as she wanted her mama - who can blame her :)

Take a looksie at the lil' footsies ...

Congrats Crystal and Jason! You'll be fantastic parents!
