When Jodi contacted me about capturing sweet baby Joseph during his first few days, I knew this shoot would be just my style.  Jodi and here family are proud Americans who truly celebrate a love for this great country we live in.  They wanted to document Joseph with his Navy Daddy and personalize his shoot with some of his daddy's own items that he has sported throughout his career in the military.  But enough of my jabbering, here are some of my favorite pictures from his newborn shoot at just 10 days old.

Thanks again Alan and Jodi for letting me spend a Saturday afternoon with you and capture these sweet images!
