Logan Square Newborn Session {Aiden Jacob}

Welcome to this crazy world Aiden Jacob Ward. AJ was born on June 15th, 2020 and weighed 7lbs 7 oz. Mom Erica and dad Michael are over the moon to welcome their first child into their arms. Giving birth is one of the most challenging things women have to go through and I can’t even imagine what it was like to give birth during Covid-19. Thankfully Erica could have Michael in the room with her but I know many women who had to give birth on their own. I am so proud of her and all the mom’s that had to give birth during this time.

We all know that the real help is needed when coming home from the hospital, well during Covid new parents are taking extra steps to be cautious while handling a newborn as well as the health of their parents. I asked Erica how it was when she came home from the hospital and she said that of course she wishes that her family could have welcomed her son to his home right away, but they had asked both their parents to quarantine for 14 days before coming over to help with the baby. The day they came over was super helpful with feeds, groceries, making dinners and laundry. An extra hand, a hug and smile goes a long way when entering parenthood for the first time.

We took this lifestyle newborn session outside their home to be safe on all ends. Luckily it was 88 degrees outside, so out little model Aiden was super comfortable in just a diaper. So without further ado I introduce to you the sweetest little, full of hair baby boy - Aiden Jacob Ward!!!
