Little brothers are the best. For this particular big brother, they make the perfect roadway for a hot wheels car, and also for some occasional adorable kisses.
Going from one child to two is kind of a big deal. There's all sorts of ups and downs involved that change your whole world in an instant. Welcoming this little man into the family means longer days, and definitely longer nights. But they're doing it together, with lots of going with the flow and lots of laughter.
Packers fans through and through (much to Lori's delight) they sported their jerseys with Cheesehead pride. And when big brother didn't want to be part of the pictures, he played - karate chopping bubbles and swinging in Daddy's arms. And as always, they went with it. Because what else can you do?
In the end when laying in bed with both of your babies in your arms is what you need to do - you go with it. Even if you are exhausted, enjoy every second of it. Because all too soon, this time of your lives shall also pass - with or without nap time.
When it does, we hope these photos will happily remind you of these early days as a family of four (plus dog).

In June, I donated a family portrait session to Lucas's school staff appreciation luncheon, and a wonderful family received the gift! We met at the stunning Genesee Valley Club in Rochester, NY, where I had the pleasure of capturing their love and connection in timeless portraits. This session felt extra special, as it was a way to give back to a school community that has played a huge role in Lucas's growth as he prepares to leave elementary school.
Winter chills family pictures in Rochester NY, but the Lamberton Conservatory offers a vibrant escape. Lush greenery and adorable turtles create a natural backdrop for capturing genuine family portraits, real smiles and timeless memories.
Taking outdoor family pictures in Fairport NY, in December can be a unique experience. The chilly winter air added a refreshing crispness to the atmosphere, making it an ideal setting for capturing cozy and heartwarming moments with this fun family.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of taking family pictures for this crew on a few occasions. When they came home for the holidays this past year, they were ready to update the extended family portrait.
