To this day, I remember Crystal's maternity session as one of the most emotion-filled photo shoots I had ever completed. Crystal and her husband Mike were out of their gourds excited to become first time parents. After all of the adventures Crystal and Mike had been on together, they were most looking forward to the journey of parenthood.
Harley was born in late July. I saw daily Facebook updates of her sleepy grins, and her new wardrobe additions that her creative mamma had dreamed up on a whim. I was finally able to meet up with Crystal, Mike, and the little blue-eyed beauty right before the holidays. Despite all of the struggles of new parenthood, what emanated from these parents was true joy. I hope one day Harley can look at these photos and feel the warmth and love that surrounded her that day, and always.
