i've known megan for the the last few years, so i was more than happy to photograph the newest addition to the jackson family last week: little miss mikaela. although mikaela is as sweet as can be, she wasn't such a fan of sleeping on that particular day, so chris, megan, and i had to be creative. as it turns out, if you want a baby to fall asleep, just turn on the vacuum cleaner. the sound of clean will lure the baby to sleep when everything else has failed you.

i'm very thankful for such a sweet family to photograph and the trusty vacuum that saved the day. enjoy some of my favorites from our time together.
