introducing…jack cooper

July 3, 2011 /

My very good friends Sharon & Dave welcomed their third (via C-section, so I couldn’t photograph the birth no matter how much I wanted to!) baby on Friday afternoon. And although I couldn’t get into the OR for pictures, I did get to see, hold and photograph Jack in the hospital about 8hrs after he was born. He’s weighing in at 7lbs, 2oz (but is pretty solid so he feels much heavier when you hold him) and has a full head of hair with lots of blonde highlights. He’s soooo cute and was wide awake the whole time I was in the hospital visiting but not even one little cry. According to Sharon he was awake like that and no crying for about 3 hrs. In a row!! I’m hoping he’ll be her low maintenence baby!

I’ll be back to take more pictures of Jack (the real newborn shoot with nice natural light, not crappy hospital bed lighting) in about 2 weeks, so be on the lookout for those. I saw Olivia & Gavin along with their grandparents in the lobby on my way in and their way out. They (well, Olivia & her grandparents) were SO excited and  Olivia is totally smitten with her new baby brother.

That’s some kind of eye contact from an 8 hour old baby!!!

How great does Sharon look?First family photo. Congrats to all of you!! Love you guys! xo
