Meet the Newest Member of the Shirley Family

We can hardly believe it has already been three weeks since our son Colin Andrew made his grand entrance into the world. It has been a crazy three weeks adjusting to being a foursome. Colin was born on Friday, January 30. he weigghed 7 lbs 6 1/2 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long. It's amazing how quickly they change and grow.

First Portrait Session of 2009

Although it was only two weeks since my son was born, when this little guy's parents called to say they were in town visiting from New Hampshire for the weekend I couldn't pass up the opportunity to meet one of my former wedding couple's baby. One of the greatest thrills I have is getting to meet and photograph my couple's babies. During the engagement and portrait sessions at a wedding my imagination runs wild thinking about what the bride and groom's children will look like. This little guy is a perfect blend of mom and dad. Congratulations Liz and Tony - he is gorgeous! I look fprward to seeing you all again in the summer.
