James Melvin

I was shocked to see an image of ‘lil James in my inbox, as he made his arrival a little early. The more I read Brenna’s message, the more stunned I was, as little James came into this world, in his parents vehicle, on the side of Hwy 11. Ummmm what!?!

I was super excited to hear all the details of this incredible birth story. I had a lot of questions! I love birth stories in general, each one is so different. This tale however, will be one that captivates anyone James tells, what a great conversations starter… “yea, well I was born in a car & my parents are superheros….so there”. Having a baby automatically sets you into ‘Superhero’ mode, it’s a fact. However, Dad’s are often not given enough credit for their role. Devin, he gets all the Superhero cookies. I hope his nerves and adrenalin have subsided a bit by now.

James was a delight for his newborn session. Once i satisfied my curiosity and started photographing him, he slept like a dream, for the most part. His little facial expressions, his little lips…gah!

As an added bonus to photographing this little sweetheart, I got to see my new BFF again! Maureen, James’ super duper proud big sister & I hit it off during Brenna’s maternity session, where we laughed and laughed. I wasn’t sure what was so funny, but boy, did we have a fun time! During the newborn session, we got to take some photos of just Maureen, as well as Snapchatted. We giggled as we filtered our faces and took photos. Naturally, I sent those to Brenna to document the day!

I am so excited to see this family again in six months, or less, for James’ milestone session. I may need to plan a play date for my BFF Maureen and I. She has been asking to go see the picture lady again and I am so down with that!
