I’ve been so lucky to photograph all 3 of my dear friend Melissa’s babies from the minute they were born (see the first 2 here and here).  This time was especially sweet because baby #3 shares my name. <3 When I got the call around 7am, I threw a change of clothes in a bag and bounded out the door – if I was going to make it, I’d better not waste any time.  Melissa still lives in North Carolina – it’s a 7 hour drive.

Even more special was getting to be there with our mutual friend, Megan – the photos that I appear in belong to her!

I made it about an hour before baby J made her arrival and it was such a joy to be able to be there as friend and photographer.
