This newborn session was special for so many reasons… Of course, the first being that Tripp is my little nephew and I’m smitten with him. But it was also special, because I was able to collaborate with my sister-in-law and little brother to make it not only a celebration of Tripp, but of our families. We’re a sentimental crew with homes filled with treasures from those who have come before us. Everything used in Tripp’s shoot held special meaning for us…
Suitcase – Tripp’s Great-Grandfather, Dwight Dugger carried this suitcase during WWII.
White Blanket – Both Tripp’s Mama and his Aunt Paige were brought home from the hospital in this blanket. It was handmade by Tripp’s Great Grandmother, Juanita.
Blue Blanket – This blanket belonged to Tripp’s Daddy and was handmade by his cousin, Sandy Jo.
Wooden Swing – Tripp’s Pop Wilson made this swing, just after he was born. The wood came from a stair tread that was in his Great Great Grandfather Wilson’s homestead.
I couldn’t help but feel that we weren’t the only ones celebrating Tripp that day. He’s a special little guy, with so many people who love him!
these pics are unreal.
He’s perfect in every way and you are so very talented! I love every detail. Can’t wait to meet him and hug him! Xx
Thanks guys! We had so much fun, and he really is the most precious little baby!
Adorable! Love all the family treasures (and their descriptions) that surround Tripp too…what a lucky little man he is.
He is soo precious!! Enjoy every minute – I can’t believe how fast the past 6 months have gone! This little man is going to be surrounded by so much love… And pictures to capture the moments!
Tripp seems to be dreaming of his life journey with an anticipation as he lay on his great grandfather ‘s suitcase. The stair tread rope swing was too fabulous . Family memories are already in the making! Meg and Chris must be thrilled.
