This family’s story is precious. It’s a story of second chances and redemption as a result of this new life. Through her birth, and the people who provided support to this couple along the way, their lives were changed.
I can’t think of a more precious legacy to begin your life with! 
One of the best parts of what I do is getting to capture a family’s first days together. What’s even better is getting to photograph the tiny bits and pieces that are precious during these early days. For Miss Athena, we made sure to capture her powerful ninja legs. Despite being so tiny, these little legs managed to outwit my wrapping skills. So we let them loose! Especially since her mommy and daddy love smooching them…
When her mommy told me that she loves purple and that lilacs are her favorite flower, I was able to dash outside and pick an armful of the season’s last lilacs. I’m so grateful that I was able to combine all of this new momma’s favorites in one photo!
Here are some more images of sweet Athena. Welcome to our world, beautiful girl!
There is something so precious and intimate about getting to experience some of the first days of a newborn’s life. This little one, while only a few weeks old, has already experienced so many blessings.
From the perfect timing of her birth, to her much hoped for perfect size, to her very special name, Susanna Faith; her little life is already a testament to the Father’s goodness.
She was welcomed home to her big sisters and big brother who already love her deeply. This little miracle will never want for playmates or protectors!
But her journey isn’t over. Her family will be relocating to Nepal in the fall to start a new adventure- and I have no doubt they will continue to experience more blessings to come!
