Baby's First Year and Beyond

Keep looking up...that's the secret of life...

 I love to see a strong family bond. This gorgeous family from Stamford has a beautiful bond, and you can truly see the depth of love they have for their new little girl captured in the photos.

Put Me In, Coach! (Sandy Hook Newborn Photography)
