seventeen hours old

these photos were taken the afternoon after gabriel was born. i am so glad we have these beautiful images of him as a brand new newborn … he has already changed so much in the last eighteen days! the sheer sweetness of the very first day of a life on earth absolutely cannot be captured … but these pictures are a worthy attempt. 

we love this little soul wildly and we are so glad that he has joined our family. 

 
 
^^ having grammie here with us during and after gabriel’s birth was sublime. ^^
