I have been friends with Dawne since, well, forever! We were the little girls with the blonde bowl-cuts and the kulats on the playground back in 3rd grade. We stayed friends through high school and beyond. Dawne set up my first date with my husband 8 years ago. We were both pregnant with our first babies at the same time. We&#8217;ve been through a lot together over the (ahem) 30 years we&#8217;ve been friends. So I was <em>very<\/em> excited to be able to visit and to capture Sawyer&#8217;s perfect little new-ness when he was just 11 days old. There are about a million gorgeous pictures but here are some of my favorites:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2138\" title=\"img_7585\" src=\"https:\/\/ebroderickphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_7585.jpg\" alt=\"img_7585\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebroderickphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_7585.jpg 533w, https:\/\/ebroderickphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_7585-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It wasn&#8217;t easy to get this little man to sleep for us.
