it feels like just yesterday i was taking maternity photos for danielle and thomas, and then before we knew it, john pierce was here. he was born on the fourth of july, so i have affectionately deemed him "america's baby."

he was such a sweet baby to photograph, and we had a lot of fun lulling him to perfect newborn sleep, maneuvering his little body, and showing off his parents' college pride.

thomas and danielle share so much love for each other and for the newest addition to their family. i hope you enjoy some of my favorites from our time together.
