Wesley + Newborn| Stuttgart, Germany

Shelly and I started emailing back and forth a few weeks before she was due and we immediately hit it off.  I truly enjoyed hearing about her pregnancy, her excitement as she was about to become a mom for the first time, and how her last weeks of pregnancy were progressing.  She and Michael had a big surprise coming upon delivery--they didn't know if they were having a boy or girl!!!  These first time parents to be were blessed with an adorable baby boy named Wesley.  Wesley was born into a HUGE Texas A&M household.  Both Shelly and Michael graduated college from there.  Michael's mom even told me that she prayed Michael would find an Aggie wife because his alma mater meant so much to him.  These two were crazy in love and had lots of room in their Texas sized hearts for Wesley.  I learned a lot about their family during their photo shoot and I even learned some Aggie history:  GIG 'EM!!!!!!  I even got to meet their two adorable dogs!  I love when dogs are included in family photos :)

Babies holding fingers is probably one of the most precious things ever.  They grow so fast so I love how you can see exactly how tiny Wesley's hand is here.  It is amazing how he had been alive for only a few days yet he knew exactly who his parents were.  Love is an amazing experience!
