Newborn Portraits 17 Years in the Making

Angela & Jeremy have waited around 17 years for this little miracle named Jax.  After years of negative pregnancy tests, they began fostering their precious boy Caleb (AKA: Monster) when he was a few months old.

Shortly after Caleb turned 2 (and just after them officially being awarded permanent custody of Caleb) , Angela began having pregnancy symptoms.  Friends kept telling her to go take a pregnancy test but after having been disappointed so many times over the last 17 years, she really didn’t want to take another one just for it come up negative again. Plus she was almost 40, there’s no way she was pregnant now after all these years of trying!

 

But apparently there’s a higher power that has a plan because after cajoling from family and friends she took the test and the rest, they say, is history.

Not entirely enough months later due to complications, baby Jax was born on November 22, 2016 at 5:38 P.M. and weighed in at a little over 3lbs.  A month later, Jax finally got to have his newborn portrait shoot and he is absolutely adorable! (and the spitting image of mommy but don’t tell daddy…shhh).  Here’s some of my favorite Jax newborn portraits!

Webster’s dictionary says that heritage is something handed down from the past.  Your photographs should showcase you and your personality at that moment in time so they can be the heritage that your children and grand children inherit.  Here in the Tyler area, that can mean anything from a lifestyle senior session of you fishing on Lake Tyler.

To “that laugh”….. You know that laugh, and every friend and family member of yours could identify you in a crowded room from that laugh of yours.  Even seeing a photograph of you laughing causes them to “hear” that laugh of yours.

 

Preserve your heritage.  The last thing your children will ever have of you will be photographs.  Make sure you’re in them!
