Fox Hollow Photography: Barrett

I was so excited to meet baby Barrett a few weeks ago. Barrett's dad, Dave, came home from deployment this summer - you can see their homecoming photos here, and I'm so glad he was able to be with Ashley for the end of her pregnancy and for Barrett's birth.

I've been picking up a few newborn items here & there, and was so glad to finally get to use them - especially this fur.

Love all his hair!

And the little smile :)

There's a story that goes along with this photo...I brought up the idea of trying this with Ashley a few days before the session. However - since they are in the middle of PCSing, Dave's kevlar helmet had already been packed. I borrowed my husband's with the promise that nothing would happen to it. We thought we were totally fine, and everything went pretty well settling Barrett into the kevlar. However...when we lifted him off a few minutes later, there was baby poo inside! Oops! I obviously wiped it off and it was fine - but the first question my husband asked when he came home that night was, "Did anything happen in my helmet?!". I was going to try and keep a straight face and just white lie, but it wasn't possible. I ended up bursting out laughing at the look on his face. All of the pads went into the washing machine, but his kevlar is now fine - and this shot was entirely worth it.
