A longtime friend of Gretchen’s, Melanie first came to us with her husband, Jesse, their son, Carson and her adorable baby bump.  We were so thrilled to hear the good news when a healthy baby girl was born.  Get this – their son, Carson, was born on Christmas Eve. Nine years later, almost to the day, Anora was born… on Christmas Day.  This family now has a lot to celebrate during the holidays!  

We hadn’t seen Melanie and her family since Anora’s newborn session in January.  We were thrilled to see how she had grown.  There was a natural, autumn light at Silverwood Park when we met up with them, but there was also this awesome glow amongst their family.  It was truly a pleasure to be in their presence that day and to document this beautiful moment in their life.  (Seriously??  How cute is this brother and sister?)
