{A Newborn Session}

Mr. Carter entered this world earlier this month weighing 8lbs 10oz and 21.5 inches long. He’s lucky enough to join the loving family of Donovan & Jenna Day and big brother Corbin. I went to high school with his mommy and daddy and Jenna and I stayed connected through my old drill team coaching days. When Jenna came for Carter’s newborn session I was so happy to see she brought her mom Jill, who assisted coaching with me. I loved catching up with these ladies! Jenna and I have different pregnancy journeys but still so similar in many ways. We connect so well because of this and I’m extremely thankful I have another mama friend that understands me! Carter was awake majority of the session plus had a round of hiccups that took awhile to settle so we spent a good amount of time just chit chatting and catching up on our lives. Jenna, Jill and her family have had many ups and downs the past couple of years so welcoming a new, adorable baby this year is exactly what they need. But Carter has some big shoes to fill! Big brother Corbin is such a caring and intelligent little guy. He adores Carter and is very careful around him. Just hanging out with him for half a day it’s hard to believe he is only 3. Saying words like “consequences” and always knowing when he did something wrong, I could have sworn he was an adult! I know these two will be the best of pals!

Jenna, may you always take in the small moments at every opportunity that arises. May you have the patience and grace of being a boy mom. May you take pride in the decisions you make as a mom. And may your love be forever overflowing for your two very precious miracles.

Much Love, Carissa
