Mom and Dad got in the frame, too - I always encourage them to. They were a little hesitant to order 'too many' of the parent photos, but I had an honest heart to heart saying that when Cal is older and grown, that these would be so special to him. No one regrets getting real, professional photos done. They only ever regret NOT getting them done.

Not to mention, look at the giant, simply smile he gave the camera during their family photo - my heart! 

I am so glad that Mom & Dad opted to go with a few pictures of them holding their tiny baby boy in their arms. I have no pictures of myself with my babies when they were tiny (I have just one selfie in a dirty mirror... :( ) and if I could go back and get professional photos with my little ones, I absolutely would! 

I am also so thankful that they trusted me with their little dude, and with these precious memories. It was a huge pleasure working with them, and I am so pleased with how their pictures turned out. What a beautiful gallery!
