The world welcomed baby Genevieve into the world on Friday, May 19. Her mother, Jennifer, was in labor for 30 hours. Read that again.
30 hours!
But Miss Genevieve was well worth the wait and the pain — just look at this cutie:
We learned Genevieve’s middle name is Rose during Jennifer & James’ maternity shoot earlier this year.
The name Genevieve comes from Jennifer’s maternal grandmother, who she is also named after! Rose is Jenn’s mama’s maiden name.
I always find it so touching when family members are honored in the naming process.
Jennifer graduated from the No. 1 journalism school in the nation — The University of Missouri — fondly called Mizzou. I’m totally biased here, because I also graduated from the good ol’ black and gold!
Both of Genevieve’s parents are huge Mizzou fans — so of course we had to incorporate that into some of the photos!
Genevieve was nice and warm for the shoot. I always ask parents to turn up the heat / make sure it’s warm in the house for newborn photos. We may be sweating, but the baby is going to be so happy!
I also didn’t get pooped on during this shoot, so that’s a huge plus! Thank you, Genevieve!
