By now my clear affection towards newborns should be more than apparent if you are a blog follower, lol, but today’s session was incredible. Mister D was only 36 hours old when I went to his home today, born at home early yesterday morning after nearly 24 hours of labor. And what’s more, is that sweet D was a total surprise…mom and dad were told he was a she at two ultrasounds…so you can imagine their delight when dad caught Mister D yesterday! Such an amazing birth story, and such a pleasure to photograph him today…prepare to swoon…
