You might remember mom and dad’s maternity photos from a few weeks back. Well Gabriella made her appearance 2 weeks ahead of schedule! She’s a beautiful little girl and is already strong and has a big personality. We’d hoped to capture a few sleepy shots where we could pose her a bit more, but she was pretty determined to NOT sleep the whole time. She probably cat-napped 4 or 5 times during the session, but never for longer than 10 min. She didn’t want to miss anything!
