Hello my friends, the trip back to Minnesota was a real whirlwind but the timing couldn’t be better to be there for my new grandson Milo’s birthday. I arrived on the 10th, Liz went into labor on her due date the 13th and Milo was born the next day January 14th, 2015. 7 lbs 5 oz. and looking like he didnt’ miss a beat. He did not look like he went through the stress of birth at all. I’m so proud of Liz and Andy.
3 GENERATIONS OF MOMS. GREAT GRANDMA EUNICE, GRANDMA SANDY & MAMA LIZ
What a beautiful family to photograph (ok I’m a little biased) and it was such an honor to be able to take photos in 3 short sessions of this precious newcomer to planet earth. These are just a few of my faves of both Milo and grandson Jack who is son Bryan and Kates handsome 2 1/2 year old.
