First born girl {chicago newborn photographer}

Layla is the first born girl to these lucky first time parents. Boy oh boy was she a feisty one. Either that or she only wanted her mama. The minute I would put her down or she heard the click of my shutter she would wake. It wasn’t until Dad came home and held her…

    These are so sweet Nicole! I’m so glad you sorted out everything and got the post up. I absolutely love that you shared more of your life with the boys. They are adorable and look to be into everything! Happy Birthday to your sweet boy. 4 is such a fun age. They really are finally becoming more independent and looking grown up! That last shot is my fave!ReplyCancel
