I'm so excited to finally get these posted on the blog! Here's beautiful baby Astrid with her lovely parents, Baden & Amanda, and handsome dog, Winston. Baden and Amanda's maternity shoot can be seen here. We actually just met up with this sweet family this past weekend in NYC. Kyle and I went away for the weekend and they just happened to be visiting the city the same weekend as us. It was fate! So we got together for a delicious brunch in Tribeca. Baden and Amanda had lived in New York for awhile so they knew where to go and it was perfect. Astrid is adorable! She is growing quickly and she was perfect during our brunch, snoozing the entire time in Amanda's arms and waking up at the end so I could have a quick cuddle.
So I was inspired to get this post up and I really enjoyed putting it together this afternoon. It took me back to my afternoon with Astrid, Baden and Amanda, during such a special time in their life. It's hard to explain the joy and bliss that comes during those first few days at home with your little one. It's subtle – and can almost be lost in the exhaustion and chaos of cluster feeding, tracking pees and poos, and mastering the perfect latch. But I think these photos demonstrate that joy – to me, this is the epitome of bliss.
Before... and after. 
Winston was so well-behaved. He's going to be a great "big brother".
And one more before & after. Amanda's sister suggested this idea based on Pink's maternity/newborn photos. Beautiful!
