The Newborn & the Furry Sibling. Westchester Hudson Valley Photographer

When I was closing in on my ninth month of pregnancy, I decided that my daughter would need a special painting- one of her first playmate, our cat Tina. I suppose I knew before she was born that she would have a soft spot in her heart for animals- especially for our Tina. So I took out the paints, and created a large, bright & bold colored painting of our beloved calico. I wanted her to have something to take her from childhood into adulthood that reminded her of her very first companion- her partner in crime!

If you had a pet growing up, you know the special bond. Make sure to take lots of photos of both of your little ones- furry and non-furry! Years down the road, your child will thank you!
