I have had the privilege of photographing this sweet family a few times this past year. I was lucky enough to be in the OR room the day they welcomed their son Logan into their lives, then a few weeks later for an in-home session at their brand new home in Apple Valley, MN.
A few months ago when I was offering Mother’s Day sessions Ashley sent me a message saying she was very interested in a session but instead wanted a Motherhood session to take place in their home. She wanted to document the moments she gets to share with her little boy. I had the best time just sitting back watching these two interact and see how Logan would light up when his momma would talk to him or snuggle up next to him on the bed. It has been a joy watching capturing so many milestones for the Yantes family this year.
