And then there’s our 6-month-old Goldendoodle, a giant bundle of joy and pure energy.

How to Prepare Middle and High Schoolers for a Newborn Photo Session

When a new baby arrives, it’s a big change for everyone, including older siblings. Teens and pre-teens often have mixed feelings about having a newborn in the house. They might be excited or a little hesitant. Some might want to hold the baby all day, while others might feel a bit distant or unsure.
