“I love his noises,” his mom told me. He slept peacefully in his bassinet while everyone was in motion around him. Dishes were being washed. His sister quietly played with Play-Doh. His mom finished a few last-minute touches while his dad changed clothes. Baby boy was unfazed by it all – dozing with his arms spread out by his head. Jon and Kali – your family is amazing and I am unbelievably happy for you. 🙂
When the commotion died down, it was time to start – another session with Jon and Kali’s family – now with the glorious chaos of life with two under two. Their daughter’s personality is guaranteed to make everyone smile. Although there were definitely times she would rather play with a foam golf club – her parent’s said anything other than foam was too dangerous – than have her photo taken, but that’s okay. My favorite thing about hanging out with Jon and Kali’s family was seeing how amazing their daughter is doing as a big sister. She called her brother “my baby” while Jon was changing his diaper and it was so sweet. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)
I have been photographing the Rechterman family since before the were the Rechterman family. Engagement and wedding, maternity and a year of their daughter’s life; and now we are on the same path with their son. Jon and I joked about how often we do photos. “Too often,” he said. With Fresh 48, newborn, and then every three months – he’s not wrong. I love being able to tell the story of my best friend’s life, and I’m so grateful for the chance. Enjoy. 🙂
