I literally could not think of a better session to be my 999th(!!!!!!!) blog post. Meet one of our favorite families: Chris, Rita, and soon-to-be a big brother Juuuuuuuuude! (may have put a couple extra u’s in there.)

We’ve shot these guys on May 9th for three years now. Yes- The exact same day each year. You can see the other two here and here. :)

And because flashback photos make me swoon and get me all emotional about this job, here’s Jude the first day we met him and then now. <3

I love photographing these guys for a multitude of reasons, the biggest being how much I smile while editing their photos. :)

My favorite moment from the session (other than watching Jude and Nate be bffs) was when we were asking him if he’s excited for his little sister. Jude responded with, “Yes, I’m going to bury her.” I’m preeeeeeetty sure he didn’t know what he was saying and we all laughed but Rita, let’s keep an eye on this one, shall we? ;)

I don’t even know, but Rita, you’re adorable. <3

Nope, not related. Not. One. Bit. ;)

Rita, you’re gorgeous. And I’m sorry if we accidentally outed you for being pregnant by posting these!!

Chris, Rita, and Jude, your sessions have truly become a highlight of our work year. We can’t wait for next time!!
