Officially introducing Briley Grace Swain
Today our baby is 1 week old. I can already tell that her hands are bigger than they were while we were in the hospital! I already want her to stop growing! :( I have been planning this newborn shoot for a VERY long time. A HUGE thank you to Tiff for letting me borrow her makeup studio for the session- it could not have been more perfect. Here is our baby…. leave her some blog love. This is only the first of MANY future photo shoots. :)
Briley taking a break while we get everything ready. :)
