Baby Rhys

---

Yes, that is how you spell Rhys (pronounce the same as Reese). I learn that Rhys is the way the original and authentic name is spelled. It's the perfect name for this little boy who was so patient and sweet. I love holding newborns and didn't want to put this little fella down, but I had to work. It's a tough job working with little newborns all day. I mean, I have to get on the floor and coo and play with them. Sometime I have the hard assignment of holding them and watching them look at me all cross-eyed. :) Fine, you got me. I have a great job and love it.

So little Rhys was a very cute little one. He had perfect little toes and perfect little fingers to match. He was awake for most of the session, but barely made a peep until the every end when I think we had tired the poor little fella (and dad too) out. I want to thank you Shannon and Jena for letting me share this sweet moment with them. It's always an honor when parents let me share that first few days of their babies life.

So here are some of the maternity portraits that we had taken of the happy couples a few week before little Rhys was delivered into the world. I should have shared these images with you a few weeks ago, but I'm behind. So a little late, but they are still beautiful portraits that I would like to share with you.

Introducing Violet Thuy Westfall

---

Warren and I are happy to announce that Violet Thuy Westfall has arrived in our family. She was born May 12 at 6lb 5 oz.



Daniella loves her sister. She adore her from the first minute that she met her. I love watching her be a big sister. She gives her baby sister many kisses and hugs.

I finally went out at 2 weeks to the studio and took some images of Violet. She is two weeks in this image. She is such a calm baby and was so easy to photograph because she just happily lay there and coo. I love babies' coo-ing.
