Several years ago in a Zumba class I met this fun, energetic young woman who danced her heart out in every class. We got to know each other a bit over time, and I watched her dance her way through multiple pregnancies. Always amazed me how she could be days from delivery and still sweat it out in a Zumba class!
I had the privilege of making her sweet Perrin's newborn photos in 2017 and since then I've watched her and her family navigate loss and joy in equal measure. They have handled unimaginable loss with faith, grace, and courage, and continued to grow their family. They may have thought Jovi Hope would be the baby forever, but one more little love has arrived!
I had the honor of making newborn photos for their beautiful new daughter. She was a dream in the studio, sleeping most of the time. I simply wanted to make some beautiful newborn photos, but when I heard her birthstone is Amethyst and her middle name is Iris, well let's just say I may have gone a little overboard. I'll have more to share soon, but for now, let's welcome Nova Iris in all her newborn perfection!
