this one’s just for you, sweet gretchen – [St. Louis Newborn Photographers]

Nov 12, 2009 | newborn | 16 comments

After what still feels like such an emotionally raw week, it’s great to take the time to revisit sweet little Gretchen’s session.  And we had a beautifully WARM day that day.  Never in our wildest dreams would we think we’d be able to comfortably take a newborn outside in November!  Little Miss Gretchen is a teeny little thing and oh so sweet… I don’t think we ever heard her fuss much!  It was just great to hang out with her fabulous family!  Her mom, Maggie, feels like an old friend that Jodie & I could sit and talk to for hours… and I guess we did!  🙂  So here are a few more fun images from that day!
