Family & Kids

I was so excited to meet baby James! I first met the Walsh family when big sister Evelyn was a newborn and I’ve been so lucky to get to photograph them many times in the years since. In October, we did their family photos, including Maddie’s perfect baby bump. Now, at exactly one week old, […]
