I was so excited (as I always am) when I get an email or a call to do newborn photography.  This time I had a connection with momma, Melissa.  I had never met Melissa before but we went to the same grade school and high school.  She, too, married her high school sweetheart and I knew him as he was in my brother’s class..not well, but I did know him…however, his older sisters I knew very well.  (Waving hi to Tami and Leslie!)  I also realized at this session that Melissa and I are a lot alike.  Our personalities are similar and our birth stories were very similar, too.  (Both these things make us who we are.)  She, too, gave birth at the same hospital and also had problems with her epidural making recoveries for both of us much harder than most (unplanned) c-section patients.  Melissa was still having a hard time getting around (bless her heart — I totally understand!) but Hudson was so very cooperative for us and even gave a few glances of his beautiful eyes.  I think babies sense when us mommas aren’t at our best (although she looked GORGEOUS and I so wish she’d allow me to show you some of her and Hudson..hint, hint).  And…as you will see, his parents (especially his daddy!) loooooove the St Louis Cardinals.  Another way Melissa and I are similar.  I love the Cardinals, too (but my hubby loves the Cubs.  Eww).  It was so cute….Melissa came in with a bag of St Louis Cardinals props for me to work with.  It was so fun!!  I hope daddy cherishes the shots forever.  Especially if, heaven forbid, he turns to the Cubbies.  Thanks again, all of you, for choosing me to photograph Mr. Hudson’s handsome self.  Melissa, hope you are recovering well.  Take care and keep letting Rob spoil you!  Being a momma is hard, but even harder after having major surgery.  Lots of love and gentle hugs to you.
