For a professional photographer, having a granddaughter is like a chef discovering an all-new ingredient.

My baby daughter delivered a baby daughter who immediately became my favorite person to read to, love and photograph.

Just days before she gives birth, our daughter poses with her belly in our home studio.

My daughter’s belly grows bigger and bigger every several weeks until . . .

Getting to know each other during the first few hours home.
