Sawyer Marie joined her family a few weeks before expected, spent some time in NICU, and made it home in time to celebrate her first Christmas with her family. I was going to document her first few hours in the hospital, but she had other plans, so we decided to save our session for home.…

Lindsey and I became friends about four years ago when her daughter, who was almost one at the time, accidentally requested to be my facebook friend.
