Truly nothing makes me happier as a photographer than when people trust me to capture multiple milestones in their lives. Jon and Brandi are no strangers to the pages of this website. In fact, the first photo on my homepage is from their wedding! Almost two years after I photographed the day they said I do, they invited me to to tell the story of yet another glorious occasion in their lives – their first born child, little Lukas Ladd.
Jon and Brandi are some of the most effortlessly kind people. The sort of folks who you know care a lot about the things that matter, and not a whole lot about the things that don’t. It’s hard to tell given Lukas is only 4 weeks old, but I have a feeling he inherited this trait from his parents. In the hour that I was there photographing, moving Lukas from the bed, to the crib, to his parents arms, back to the bed, from swaddle to no swaddle.. he never made a sound. He snoozed most of the hour, except for a few moments of opening his eyes just to be met by the loving gaze of his mom and dad. Almost as if the little lad (see what I did there??) knew he was safe and sound with no need to worry..
