Newborn Session: Asher Burnett

April 2, 2016 ~ Mims, Florida ~ Newborn Session: Asher Burnett

World, meet Asher Burnett Flake.DSC_1632

“For this child I prayed.” (1 Samuel 1:27) I, Jean Marie. Seriously. Literally. Prayed.

For about a year, I prayed for a third little one to grace the home and arms of Charles & Ashley.
I never told her. Until one August 2015 day, when she announced the happy news. I screamed A LOT.

and a few weeks after Asher was born, I went over to their house and took newborn photos of him.

Meeting him was….precious. I was breathless at the sight of him. I cradled him in tears. It’s a feeling like none other when you hold new life in your arms, especially new life you’ve prayed so much for, and is really, truly, here!!! He is a gift and a joy. I refused to narrow down these photos toooo much, because he is just. that. sweet. So enjoy this look into what several weeks old life of Asher Burnett looks like.

Flake family – Congratulations on your beautiful little son. May he grow to be strong and kind and gentle.
May he love baseball. May he grow to know the deep love of the Father. May he know prayers matter to Jesus.

Welcome, sweet little Asher Burnett. I’m so glad you came.

 Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers!!! You are amazing and beautiful. DSC_1583DSC_1582 DSC_1589_Stomp DSC_1591DSC_1597AsherNewbornApril2016-25_Stomp DSC_1617 DSC_1621 DSC_1625DSC_1636 DSC_1639 DSC_1641 DSC_1645 DSC_1649 DSC_1653

We took an afternoon break after the newborn session for Addison’s & Ethan’s baseball games,
which I joyfully attended (because real life is way more fun that way), fixed my parents a taco lunch,
and came back at 3pm for family photos with little Asher. So easy and a delight!
