3 years and 10 months ago I photographed baby Leland shortly after she was born. Last week I photographed (now almost 4 year old) “baby” Leland’s baby brother shortly after HE was born. Leland has grown into such a gorgeous, sweet little girl and was pretty excited that she was going to get to take her little brother home with her and eventually make him play dolls and “princess and prince” with her. :) Anna looked beautiful, as always.. even after child birth. Anna is such an amazing woman. She was my first nurse of the day when I had Briley and she was also with Brittany as she labored with Brynlee! (Who, by the way, was present for some photos.. since she she will be his future wife and all.) ;)

I was so excited to find out when Anna was expected baby #2 and that she wanted me to come to the hospital and do for this baby, exactly what we did for Miss Leland. It blows my mind just how much Ryker resembles Leland as a newborn. Same features, same little feet and same head full of dark hair!! Just for fun, I included Leland’s stats from when she was born so you can compare their similarities AND differences (Ryker was a big boy.) ;)

Congratulations Anna, Jeremiah and Leland!! :D
