Benjamin Henry

On June 20, 2012, the world was blessed with a new Stack, Benjamin Henry.

I was absolutely honored that Jen asked for me to photograph Benjamin's first moments.  This is such a special and personal time in a couples life that to have them ask for me to be there meant the world.  However, Benjamin's due date was at the same time we were due to be at the Davisson Family reunion.    Parker was five days late, so it was highly likely that Benjamin would arrive while we were out of town.  On Saturday, I missed a call from Jen.  I called her back as soon as I saw it and she said "sorry, I didn't mean to call you.".  Oops, pocket dial.  Jen was still 40+ weeks pregnant and Benjamin hadn't even knocked on the door to come into the world.  Jen was out running errands in the blazing Denver heat.  Benjamin was gracious enough to honor his Mommy's request to have me home to photograph his first moments but with that he request fulfillment she paid the price of being pregnant just a bit longer.  It took ALL day on Wednesday, but at 4:21 PM, he was welcomed into the world by his Mommy and Daddy.

Congratulations Jen and Craig on the arrival of Benjamin!

Benjamin made his presence known at a whopping 9 lbs 5.4 oz.

WHOA BABY!

Of course all of the sweet moments with Benjamin were wonderful, but this was one of my personal favorites when he was already trying to scale the side of the bassinet by the tips of his adorable toes.  (and those buns... don't you just want to give them a pinch?!)

He is already standing tall at 21.5"

Parker is a proud big brother.

He has big plans for everything he and Benjamin are going to do together.

Welcome to the Big Bro club, Parker!

Parker even made a special card for Benjamin.  He was so proud of it he had to tell everyone what stickers he had put on the card.

Benjamin is one lucky little guy to have such a great Big Brother.

Congratulations Stack Family!

We Love you and your Family of FOUR!
