Rowan Lukas

Wow! Okay, maybe thats not a grammatically correct way to start off a sentence, but I don't think anyone will hold it against me! I'm not sure how the chain of communication worked here exactly, whether it was Carla -> Rita -> Joyce or some combination thereof, but these lovely ladies all work together and have all recently became grandparents and over the last several months each one has subsequently contacted me to shoot their grandchildren!

I had the pleasure of meeting little Rowan Lukas and his huge family. His parents Marissa and Rob (Joyce's Son) were just so full of joy. The entire family was so close, even the great grandma was there.

Rowan is absolutely beautiful - he was so calm and relaxed - there was a moment when Dad sort of flipped his baseball cap sideways, well Rowan let everyone know he didn't like that at all!!!

I have to start out this group of favorites with my absolute favorite..



When Rowan just sort of stared at me, I bet he felt like a super star - there was a huge audience standing behind me and they all went ohhhhhh all at the same time...



Mom whipped out the bear skin rug and Rowan started picking up his head, amazing seeing he is only 60 days young! Look at those huge eyes - he is so adorable and that little sheepish grin!!



This next photo was really great, although on some monitors the entire right side probably looks like empty black space, its actually Dad in his sweater standing next to mom each holding their babies tiny little hands!



This is definitely another one of my favorites, just catching that connection between mother and son.. You can see so much joy in Marissa's eyes..



Another great moment between the parents and little Rowan



This was another amazing catch, Dad just taking it all in - perhaps its starting to hit Rob that he is a Daddy!!!



Joyce, thank you for contacting me, I had a great time, you have a wonderful family and I look forward to watching Rowan grow...

Rick, this session looks amazing! What incredible shots of the baby. I love the picture of the baby holding the hand that seems to come out of 'no where'. It gives me the sense of it being God's hand!

Amazing.
