Melissa and Matt (aka M&M)'s newest family member was set to arrive on June 1st, 2015 at OHSU Hospital. Big sister, 2-year-old Siena, was excited to welcome her new brother Leo to the family. M&M knew it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to document this first meeting, so they invited Parallel Photography to the hospital to photograph these very important memories. Matt's mom and partner rounded out the group that day and they both oozed warmth and love for their grandbabies. And Siena was the SWEETEST big sister! Watching her with her baby brother nearly brought tears to our eyes...and when baby Leo cried it brought tears to Siena's eyes (bless her heart!). What a beautiful family! M&M, it was such an honor of to be part of your day and to be among the first to welcome baby Leo to the world. Much love and congratulations!
