I was invited into the Blakeslee household to photograph the newest member and he put up a massive fight. When I arrived, Wyatt was super sleepy and let me wrap him up right off the bat. I started with his 20 month old sister and snuggles for their sibling shots, which couldn’t have gone better. Not even age two yet, Viv listens like a freaking champ.
