According to Lindsey, when she found out she was pregnant with Liam, the first thing she did was write us to schedule their family session! She then planned Liam’s first trip to Walt Disney World around our availability. :)

While I’d never believe it coming from anyone else, I can honestly say I believe Lindsey whole-heartedly. After all, this is our bride who covered her walls in our wedding photos (even photos of their wedding food in their dining room!), and when she ran out of wall space, she had a throw made out of her favorite portrait. I know other photographers insist that they have the best couples, but I’m pretty sure that this is proof that we get the trophy for that one. A big, plastic, gold-painted trophy with a camera on top, middle-school-soccer-style. :)

She went on to tell us that she would talk to Liam in her belly, telling him about the photos we’d be taking of him someday and that he’d darn-well better behave. She gushed about how excited she was for his “Root Photography Blog debut.” Lindsey’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and I have no doubt that if we lived in the same city, I’d be her Gail and she’d be my Oprah. I could listen to her hilarious adventures in childbirth and parenting stories for hours. You never know what’s gonna come out of her mouth next, like when during breakfast after our session, she admitted that she “Never really cared for the name Eric.” This came as a total surprise to her husband, Eric, and nearly made me spew milk out of my nose. I love my Lindsey. :)

Meet one of the cutest boys in the world, Liam!
