Kim Jones Photography

One of my best buddies, Cristin, and her husband, Leo, were blessed with their first child just a few short weeks ago.  She and I went out and took maternity photos in the warm fall air in early September and really got some good shots of her showing off her pregnant belly and cuddling with her main squeeze!   Valentino was born about three weeks early in mid-October and is such a sweetheart.  His parents are smitten!  I just love all these photos of Cristin showing off her little man “before” and “after” his birth.  Congrats and welcome to mommyhood my friend!

Looking at these photos from a recent family shoot, I couldn’t stop looking at Jackson’s expressions and the sweet innocence coming right from his eyes.  There is something so precious about a little boys (okay, I know, I’m biased, I have two!) and this time in life with their young eyes wide open to the world and all its experiences.  You could just scoop them up and snuggle them forever and just try to protect them from all the pain and darkness that this crazy world has to offer them as they grow older and more aware.  Jackson had fun playing catch with his daddy and was probably the most natural kiddo on camera that I have shot to date. What a handsome little man!
