I spent an amazing Saturday afternoon with my friends Cory and Alicia, their newborn baby son, Rivers and one set of very proud grandparents at the Hood River Lavender farm.  There's nothing more heart-warming than seeing a new family gel together as their new 10-day-old son explored his new surroundings in every sense of the word.  Even though Rivers was asleep for most of our shoot, the occasional sounds he did make while there brought smiles to everybody's faces, including other farm patrons.  Here's a couple of my favorite from the shoot.

There was even a local Hood River dog watching and hanging out with us!

After the session, Cory and Alicia had my wife and I over for a BBQ (and not to shoot additional photos!) though I still ended up firing off a few shots.  Rivers was fed and felt better that evening.  He's one of the quietest babies I've ever had a chance to meet.  Congratulations, Alicia and Cory!  I can only hope that whenever I have a child, s/he will be just as easy as Rivers is!
