Rachel was due on January 18, but to our surprise, little Kennedy arrived in the morning of January 3, healthy and happy — and absolutely gorgeous.

I arrived at Mease Countryside the next day, around 1 in the afternoon. Rachel had texted me earlier that day that they had hoped to go home by the end of the day but I was surprised to see bags packed and everyone dressed and ready when I arrived for their session. Everyone was excited to get home and settled!

So I got to work and we chatted while I rearranged the hospital room furniture a little — something that I think all Fresh Baby photographers are guilty of!

Rachel and Jordan told me Kennedy had here eyes open a lot already. So I grabbed some detail shots before we woke her.
