P Family | Fort Worth Children's Photographer

Today when I was picking my daughter up from her summer "camp" at preschool I heard this little, sweet, familiar voice..."Hi Ms. Bree!!"

I knew immediately who it was, because this precious girl somehow remembers me every time I see her. I photograph them once, maybe twice a year, and yet she consistently recognizes me and says hello. Charlotte, you are a doll, and you make me smile every time I see you!

Additionally, this mama was actually the one who referred me to our school, and I couldn't be more grateful. But, that is only one of the many reasons I adore this family. They are so laid back, so easy to photograph, and comfortable enough with me that they just allow me to follow them around as they interact with one another--which is my favorite thing to do with little ones.

Aren't they the cutest thing you've seen all day?

The Birth of Madeline | Fort Worth Birth Photography

There is something just a little extra sweet about having a baby boy after a girl. Or a baby girl after boy.

Heck, if you're a parent you know that it  really doesn't make it any less special if you have all boys. Or all girls.

But.

Having a girl after three boys? Three boys that are over the moon to have a sister?

Well, that IS something special. And it was.

My favorite parts of this day/s (I did go back the next morning and do a First 48 with her brothers meeting her, because, how could you not??)....

Mom getting her nose sweetly scratched from the itchy anesthesia. The way baby Madeline calmed as soon as she was put on mom's chest. The way she kept her eyes clenched tightly shut for as long as I can remember (this outside world is not near as dark and cozy as mom's tummy). The way her itty bitty ears were folded. How much she loved daddy's arms right away. The curious and hesitant touch of the baby of the brothers. The curious and madly-in-love-touch of the middle brother. The way the oldest brother didn't want to leave his mommy's side. Madeline's downy soft fuzzy hair. All the pink.

We are thrilled you are here Madeline. You are a very loved, cherished, and protected little girl!

Meet Jace. He made this session so easy by sleeping through most of it! His mommy is a friend of mine, so it was super sweet to see how her arms had already become his place of peace.

Unrelated, but she has also been the most organized mom I've ever seen when it comes to keeping track of milestones. The chair you see in these photos is the same one she has put him in every month for his monthly milestone picture, and I love following along on social media. Congrats again G family...I've loved watching Jace grow!
