Maternity & Newborn

Cooper Jon Beld

This is probably one of the most exciting blog posts for me personally. If you’ve been following me for a while you would have seen Nate and Lindsey’s session announcing that they were having a baby. Well, it is time…I want to introduce to you my nephew, Cooper Jon Beld who was born on July 15th. He’s a little peanut that weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20.5 inches long. He is super mellow and honestly he only opened his eyes for a short time during our time together. We got a lot done as well as extra time for me to just hold and snuggle him which I was eager to do. I still can’t believe that our nephew is a daddy. We are so in love with you Cooper Jon! Enjoy his debut. Congrats Nate and Lindsey!
