It’s not often that I photograph in-home newborn sessions these days, but every once in a while, there are families who have been with me through so many seasons that there’s just no way I could ever say no. The Metzger family is one of those families!
Having photographed their family over the years, being welcomed into their home to document this new chapter was so sweet. And truly, they feel like family to me!
I will never forget the moment I found out baby number three had arrived. I was sitting at dinner with my family when I got the text from this sweet mama. Like so many of us, I had convinced myself this baby had to be a boy after two adorable brothers. But the second I opened that message and saw that baby Brigham was a girl, I instantly burst into tears. I was so overwhelmingly happy for them in that moment!
Baby Brigham is the perfect addition to the Metzger family. She is already so loved, and watching her big brothers with her was enough to melt my heart. They are absolutely smitten, and it totally shows in their interactions!
This session was filled with so much love, and I found myself smiling the entire time I was editing their images. Watching this family grow has been such a gift, and I truly cannot wait to continue documenting their story. I already know I’m going to fall more and more in love with Miss Brigham every time she’s in front of my camera, just like I have with her brothers.
To the Metzger family, thank you for trusting me with your memories again and again. It means more than I can say!
