Channing M. | 1 year

I was in the hospital room with our friend Rachel when Channing came into the world. Over the past year, we've shared many evenings with Rachel watching Channing grow. But the most memorable day was when we (John, Rachel, and I) decided to take a road trip to do some shopping in Columbia.

While in Target, I strapped on a new Baby Bjorn to see if it was something we wanted to purchase. Well, of course that's when Channing decides to have a major poop.

I'm speed walking through the aisles pinching my nose and trying not to vomit from the smell. John and I take her to the bathroom and as he pulls her out of the sling we realize there was run off and it's about to run down my leg! Oh the memories we've made.

Channing Grace M. | newborn

Channing Grace came into the world weighing 7lbs 6oz with a head full of hair. Her mom, Rachel Hettinger Malen and her big sis Bailey were so glad to meet her.

Like with all newborn sessions, little Channing didn't disapoint when toward the end of her photo shoot she decided to poop all over her mom! LOL! My gag reflex went into action as we scrambled to find the wipes. That kind of stuff just comes with the territory.
