TR | 3 months adorable

OK I'm just going to warn you now...be prepared to fall in LOVE with this guy. With his creamy, baby soft skin and his adorable lips, there is no possible way not to want to squeeze him. Not only is he the "Gerber Baby", but he could not be any happier.

I have to mention his sweet mother, Catherine. She was so perfectly calm. A time or two she reassured TR by saying "no pressure." Her patient and relaxed attitude toward this experience is exactly how I want parents to feel about photos!

I remember when I took Owen & Sophia to get baby photos taken at one of the department store portrait places...it was always a nightmare. Every time the baby would cry, squirm, or look away from the camera - I felt like a failure as a parent. (Apparently, only terrible mothers don't have their infants trained to sit up straight and smile on demand.)  Unfortunately, it wasn't in the teenage photographer's schedule to allow a few minutes for nursing or calming down.  I always left sweaty, disappointed and regretful for spending half a day & a bunch of money for some photos that were OK...at best.  I would be so frazzled, I'd vow never to go back. Sadly, I went back a lot before I starting doing it myself.

Catherine, I hope you have a beautiful Mother's Day. I think these pictures show just how much this little guy loves you.  Look at it this way, if drool were money, TR would be getting you a Mother's Day gift like no other. Seriously, it would be an embarrassment of riches!
