Growing Up: Baby Mikaela’s Newborn Session

My dad used to tell me that beautiful people have ugly kids…then joking-ly say “too bad for you kids that me and mom are so good-looking.” At least, I hope he was joking. But, alas, I don’t believe him for a second because, time after time, I see beautiful people with even more beautiful babies. Troy and Bow who rocked their maternity session a month ago are now the official beautiful parents of an even more beautiful baby girl, Mikaela.

Mikaela has tons of soft, silky black hair and I caught her sneaking some smiles in her sleep. These pics were taken in the family living room and accented by the tantalizing smell of what appeared to be home-made meat jun cooked by proud grandma, visiting all the way from Thailand. Mom was on hand to help me pose little Mikaela. Scott and I don’t have kids yet so I’m still nervous handling such small little newborns. They look so delicate. Everytime we got her where we wanted, I could finally breathe again.

Here is little Mikaela…
