My recent trip to Utah was a last-minute decision, but one that I was so happy about it working out. I got to see my (not so little anymore) brother Jared and his sweet, sweet family, including my newest nephew, Carson. I was thrilled to be there for Carson’s blessing, but being able to spend some time with my family made it even more special. Jared’s wife, Tanya, gets mad props for her fantastic baking skills and keeping my tummy stuffed with cookies. We went sledding, we watched movies, and we talked and laughed way past my regular bedtime. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!
While I didn’t take too many pictures during the weekend, I made it a point to get a few of little Carson… and by a few I mean that I had about a half hour as I had mistaken my departure time and the relaxing afternoon I had planned turned into a very frantic hour or so. Usually newborn sessions are quiet and take as long as Baby needs to settle down and fall asleep. This time we had all the kids in the room playing, about six adults and a very wide awake newborn. It made for an unconventional session, but I think it fits my brothers’ family more than the traditional way.
As the resident big sister, Caitlin loves to snuggle with her new little brother…
This last one is special in that now all three of their children have been photographed in this blessing outfit with this handmade blanket. They already had a frame for this shot…
Thank you so much for letting me come and hang out with you guys! I can’t wait to see you all again this summer!
