Yesterday I met Will.

But I met his parents in middle school. Melissa and I cheered together for years – going all the way back to 6th grade. In fact, even before we ruled Childers Middle School as 8th grade cheerleaders her mom was our cheerleading coach.  Then Brad came along in 8th grade – he was our star Basketball player. I remember on schedule pickup day the rumor was that he definitely couldn’t be an 8th grader because he was too tall. Gotta love middle school logic.

Who knew that Brad and Melissa would end up together? …And that someday I would be snapping photos of their sweet 8 day old baby? In fact, as Brad was assisting in this pose (he’s holding Will) he made the comment, “Who’d ever thought we’d be here together?”

Definitely one of my favorite sessions to date – Will was a dream the entire session and I had the added bonus of catching up with old friends while “working.”

You have one beautiful baby boy on your hands, Brad and Melissa – Hope to see more of you and baby Will soon!
