Steve, Holly, and Braxton

family3

The last time I shot photos for Steve and Holly, it was just the two of them.  Now, they’ve become a “family” adding little man, Braxton, to the mix.  I knew the session would be a success the second I met the little guy.  I peeked into his infant carrier and barely said two words when he gave me the biggest grin ever!  It was awesome!

gray_0028I was super excited when Holly told me they’d be in town visiting family and wanted to meet up with me.  They live in Dallas and don’t get to visit a ton.  BUT, after seeing Grandma and Grandpa with this cute little bundle, I knew there was no way they could stay away for long.  Hopefully, they’ll call when they’re in town every few months so I can see how much this cutie pie grows throughout the year.  He’s irresistable!!!

just a momma comforting her child.

THAT, in and of itself, is sexy.  Then you make the momma Holly.  At first, I started to “make-over” the shot and try to hide the sliver of black peaking out.  I changed my mind and I’m so glad I stuck with the original.  I can’t decide if it’s more smoldering in b/w or color, though.  What are your thoughts?
