During a newborn photo session you usually want the baby to be super sleepy so you can move them around for various poses. But Owen had other ideas. He was eyes wide open and ready to be part of his newborn session! Look at those eyes and full head of hair!

We got to meet the sweetest of sweet little boys. One of our favorite client couples welcomed Owen into their family a couple weeks ago and we were thrilled to take some newborn photos of this sweet, squishy face.

We always suggest parents take a quick moment to snag a photo of just the two them. Family pics are super important but so is taking the time to celebrate the foundation of that family. And when you've got that golden light glow like Ashley and Stephen did, you definitely should take a picture or two!

As a family with just daughters, I find it easy to find matching clothes for my girls all the time. I am beyond impressed at Ashley finding coordinating outfits for her boys AND her! That is next level mom skills for sure! And all the outfits made for the quintessential holiday family photo. Thanks, Parshalls, for letting us be your holiday card picture photographer!

It's a new day, a new week, and now is the time to get after it! It was full steam ahead for Henry during the Parshall family photos. And this is probably the best representation of how Ashley must feel every day with three boys - always on the go!

'The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness' - Sakyong Mipham

This quarantine has really forced us to be still, to be present in the moment, to focus on what's right in front of us. We miss our people. We miss being part of your lives. We miss celebrating with you. But we also appreciate slowing down and being present with our families.

The new normal will happen and we'll figure out how we move forward. Until then, we practice stillness.
