Grand Rapids Lifestyle Photographer // Gabriel – Newborn!

Sweet Gabe is here!!  What a fun time for this family full of boys!

Ted and Staci were married in downtown Grand Rapids about five years ago now which is where I first met them when I photographed them saying “I do!”.  I can’t believe it has been that long!!  After each of their three sons were born they graciously had me come into their home to photograph the milestone which is SO special to me!  That is my most favorite part of my job!

When I went to their home this week, Staci and I talked about how they decided on the name for baby Gabe.  He was named after the angel that gave Mary the good news that she would be giving birth to Jesus soon.  Hearing this made my heart explode because our daughter is Gabriella….and she was given that name for the same exact reason.  I didn’t think I could love this family anymore!!

Here are some favorites from their session….I hope they bring you some joy today in this super cold March weather (in the midwest at least!).

Meet Gabriel – only three days old!

And his biggest brother, Ben!

Adam (previously know as the youngest brother….now a BIG brother) wasn’t so sure about photos at first…

Baby yawns!

Staci – you are a gorgeous momma!!

But he eventually warmed up…!

So, so sweet!  Congratulations Ted & Staci!
