The first time I met Paige was about 6 weeks ago. We met at Newk's,  so we could get to know each other a little better before she welcomed me to be apart of the one of biggest days of her and Craig's life. I think I hugged her right when I saw her, I just knew we would get along from the beginning. She was so easy to talk to and we had the same vision for what she wanted to take away from her sweet little boy's birth story. 

When the big day finally came(I say finally because those that know her will understand that it felt like he never wanted to come) and I made my way to the hospital one of the first things I heard Paige talking about was a quote from Miss Congeniality.

"Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date." "That's a tough one. I would have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket."  That stuck with me, because John Ryan really was being born on the "perfect day" and it really was not too hot, and not too cold. ;) 

I am so thankful I had the opportunity to meet this sweet family and be there to capture these precious memories for them. 

Welcome to the world, John Ryan!
