belcarra village portraits: marshall, kristina and max

he is here!! maxwell robert pringle. my first ever nephew and first baby for my brother marshall and his wife kristina!! max took his time making his debut but the snuggles and cuddles and countless diapers marshall and kristina have been enjoying these past 4 weeks!

i was over at their house the day they came home from the hospital and i still laugh when i think about watching these brand new parents adjust to their new role. at one point, when max wouldn't settle and fall asleep they both stood in the doorway of their kitchen discussing their options. the conversation went something like thie:

marshall: what do you want to do?
kristina: i dunno, what do you want to do?
marshall: is he hungry?
kristina: he shouldn't be, but maybe he didn't get enough... how am i supposed to tell if he's getting enough?
marshall: i dunno?
kristina: should we give him a bath?
marshall: i dunno... do you know how?
kristina: yeah, they showed us in the hospital.

bah!! how great! i love witnessing this kind of stuff... it is so wonderfully human!

it was a great honor to photograph the new family last week! and as i was sorting through the images and choosing my favorites, making minor adjustments here and there, i wanted to jump into my car and go over to marsh and kristina's place to i could have some aunty shannon and max snuggle time!!

photo cred: kristina!
