. Parker Ryan .
some of you may remember Angela from her maternity session this past summer... well since then my dear friend's Angela & her husband Eric have welcomed a healthy, beautiful baby boy to their family & I just couldn't be happier for them!!!
please meet the ever-so-cutie-patootie Parker Ryan Walter Mikula!! Born at 8:50am on July 28th, 2007 weighing 6 lbs 11 ounces, 19 3/4 inches long -- Parker is full of the greatest expressions, full of life & just the BEST to be around. : )
i have had the pleasure to meet Parker & document him throughout these past few months, however due to my busy schedule we weren't able to schedule an official portrait session until this past October. so with this post I have decided to include some images from when I first met him at barely two weeks old, to roughly around 5 weeks, to just recently at 11 weeks!
***there is also a slideshow at the end of the post if you would like to see more images of Parker Ryan and the people (& animals!) that love him so!***
Ang & Eric, I love you both dearly. if I could write the words that i feel in my heart about this new little man in your life, they would paint across the sky in happiness!!! i am overjoyed for you both & completely honored to be able to experience and document the wondrous growing stages of your gorgeous Parker. thank you. (thank you, too, for being so patient for your sneak peek!!! i hope you enjoy them & that they make you smile BIG!)
first up, please meet Parker... how can you not fall in love with a face this precious!?

i love how Eric's hand encompasses Parker's body :
this was her expression right after... if you ask me, I think someone is VERY happy about her new friend!
she sure is beautiful, isn't she!?
: ) those lips !
the fun blanket he is on is actually a swaddle blanket by B.B. Sleep Solutions -- if you haven't checked out this website you should definitely do so!! I am a huge fan (& i don't even have children yet!)...
plus, i love that it made a great, fun backdrop!
(ang & eric - the song is Mike's pick called "The Things We Handed Down," by Marc Cohn... listen to the words - beautiful!)
also, Charlotte, Cooper & Scooter make some cameos! enjoy
