Having sweet Lily in front of my lens is always a treat, but there is something extra special when we have the opportunity to capture her sleeping. She is the most stunning little girl and I feel like taking pictures of her is good for my soul. After all, Carrie’s Lily is really who sparked our true love for photographing newborns.
