i thought my blog readers might like to see sam’s birth announcement!

yeesh! people think that just because sam’s mom is a photographer, there should be more than one picture of him on the blog so far!
i mean, come on, he is 9 days old already!!!
the truth is that i have been slacking. i would rather be holding him than editing pictures of him. luckily this afternoon my mom took jack and i decided to multitask.
i found out i can hold a sleeping baby and edit at the same time.
sam truly is a chunky monkey! i took him to the doctor today for a follow-up and he already weighs 10lbs, 8 oz. lets just say he is a great eater!








more of sam to come soon! i promise!
in case you haven’t heard…we are now the proud owners of baby boy #2…samuel robert skinner! he was born last tuesday, june 8th at 3:57pm. he weighed in at 9lbs, 9 oz and 20 inches long. we are completely smitten over him, especially jack, who is constantly wanting to love on his little brother.
like probably many second time moms, i was a little worried that i could never love another child as much as i did jack. well, the instant i saw sam, i knew i was wrong. he is absolutely perfect and such a sweetheart! i could just hold him all day long!
here he is at 4 days old!

i’m sure this is the first of many pictures of sam you will see in the upcoming weeks.
Sarah he is so adorable and yes so perfect! congrats!!
Hi Sarah, He’s a cutie, congrats to the whole family. Hope you are doing well.
He is precious, Sarah! Congratulations.
Can’t wait to meet him!
That furrowed brow is cracking me up – can’t wait to see more!!
he’s too cute sarah. hope everyone is adjusting well-i mean jack!
i tend to have a soft spot for moms of newborns that contact me after the baby is born and really want to get in asap. i just can’t resist the newborn cuteness! nico was 13 days old, which is a little older than i usually try to do newborns, but he was a champ!





one with doting big sister!

Rachel - these are soo sweet and adorable!! he looks a lot cleaner than the last time I saw him 🙂
