Luke- 7 days old (right Vanessa?) -- Lillie Biesinger: San Diego Newborn Photographer

This precious boy was a surprise. He was a surprise when they first found out about him ... and then they decided to wait to find out the gender... why can't I imagine waiting? I don't care if I had three of each, I'd probably still pay the extra money to find out early if the opportunity was presented. What does that say about me? I'm thinking painfully impatient.

I knew this gorgeous mama in highschool. She was a super star. Ten years later and she looks JUST the same... only more beautiful. I admired her youthful freckles then,.... and now?? Well it's more of an unhealthy, covetous, jealousy. I love freckles. Especially in a photo. LOVE them. I want to photoshop them onto my face. Would that be weird?

He was over 9 pounds when he was born... so when I saw him? He was big, strong, healthy, and ALERT. Poor guy didn't really sleep a wink while I was there. Luckily his eyes were already sparkling, so we just embraced the wake baby shots. :) Thanks Vanessa and Brad! He's a doll--- good luck with everything ahead...
