a (baby's) year in review

CDC_3254 I met Christina and Andy in the spring of 2020 - just before the pandemic hit I do believe.  From the get go, they were as bright and beautiful as the sun flare that seemed to follow them wherever they went.   CDC_3360 CDC_3490

Baby Hadley was born in that window of time where no one was allowed in the hospital because of Covid-19, so we didn't get hospital photos, but I did put on my mask and saved this moment in time from a distance, so careful. I remember it like it was yesterday.   CDC_0781 copy CDC_0665-2 copy

By September at her 4 month session, those big blue eyes were popping and the baby soaking in the tub in the evening light just about undid us, one thousand percent adorable.

Then came the pig tails and oh my... just when I thought it couldn't get any more endearing.   CDC_8555 copy CDC_8553-2 CDC_8611-2

So the photos began and ended at the Red River and it was such a pleasure saving these memories for Christina, Andy, and Hadley.  They've headed north already on a new assignment, but I hope they can look back at their time in Louisiana and smile, those memories on the banks of the river preserved and held.
