April 2, 2016 ~ Mims, Florida ~ Newborn Session: Asher Burnett
World, meet Asher Burnett Flake.
“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 I continued to pray. Then I went to China and photographed a bunch of adorable Chinese babies,
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.

The beautiful wooden cradle Ashley’s grandfather made for their firstborn….
now it holds a new little baby, their thirdborn.
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!
