By the time the parents of this beautiful boy get their newborn portraits in two short weeks, Dylan and his tiny toes will have grown and changed, already, so much. He won’t fit exactly the same way in their arms; he won’t stay quite as curled up in that adorable newborn position. And it won’t be long before he’s lifting his head, and rolling over on his own. This is the reason newborn portraits are such a wonderful gift.  This magical stage is fleeting, and I love presenting families with portraits that they will never be able to get again. They look at me and say, “Wow, I cannot believe how much my baby has changed!” And as they do, their newborn portraits will become an ever more valuable gift, and that makes my heart soar.
