Baby Rachel | In-Home Newborn Photos with Dog

I loved meeting sweet little Rachel at her newborn session with her parents, Diane + Phil, and her furry sibling Charley.

They haven’t been Wisconsinites long, but they’re already accustomed to our winters and love exploring all that the MKE area has to offer.
