S Family | Fort Worth Children's Photographer

I almostttt didn't share this session.

Because, well, this family of three is now a family of four, and I've done two sessions with these precious people since. I even spent the day with them at the hospital last week as they welcomed the fourth member of the family; another little boy.

But, that is precisely why I decided to go ahead and blog this one. Because as a mom (or dad) when you look back on pictures before one of your kiddos was around, it seems surreal. You can't picture your family without that extra piece. But it's also bittersweet. These guys love their oldest little guy so much, and as I looked through these again I felt I was seeing them with different eyes. These were taken early in mom's pregnancy, and you can just saw how special their relationship is with Jude, the now-big-brother.

I hope these are sweet, sweet memories of their last few months as a family of three.

These twins. I don't know how it's possible, but every time I see them they get cuter and cuter. These photos are from, hmmm, 5-6 months ago, so they are undoubtedly EVEN CUTER at this very moment.

They have such a special twin relationship...those hugs and kisses and touches.

Can't get enough.

There are a lot of words you think of when you imagine the emotion of a baby's arrival. With these sweet friends of mine, the things that repeatedly came to mind as I witnessed this perfect day were excitement, and pride.

There was so much of this in the hospital with them that day. There were overjoyed to meet their son, and I loved watching them marvel over his every inch....in a "we made this!!" way.

I loved watching daddy hold his son for the first time, with the biggest smile you can imagine. I loved watching them introduce their baby boy to their parents (just wait...most precious grandparent photos ever). And most of all, I loved watching my friend just gaze down at him in the quiet moments, getting to know this tiny little human that was knit together inside of her.
