Since my last trip to their home in late October for Andrea’s maternity session, much has changed. The Christmas tree is up, the holiday decor beautifully displayed throughout the house, Harlow’s face is healed (!!), and they have welcomed their beautiful new daughter, Maren, into their family.

This time, after having photographed their family several times by now, but especially because I just saw them several weeks ago, the older two were quick to say hello; Harlow even running out to greet me and invite me in when I parked. It’s always extra fun when kids are already familiar with me and show their personalities right away.

Maren is, as you’ll see, the squishiest, dreamiest baby. I want to smoosh her cheeks to pieces. She had a lot of opinions about eating as we started, but once she was finally full, she was sleepy and calm.

Harlow wasn’t interested in taking a photo with Maren so this photo is brought to you by bribes of candy.
