This Family Welcomed Baby Number 4 With Love and Laughter

Baby Charlotte Jo was a highly anticipated addition to an already blossoming, happy family, so it's no wonder that her birth portraits radiate pure joy. The fourth child to two happy parents, Charlotte's welcome into the world was filled with laughter, smiles, and love.

"Mom was calm during labor. I mean she had done this before, right? Once the time came to start pushing, Miss Charlotte made her appearance within minutes. It was so fast, I almost didn't get the shot . . . the beauty and emotion of Charlotte's first breath," said photographer Bobbie of Jealous Melon Photography. While they couldn't wait to introduce the new baby to her older siblings (two sisters and a brother), the parents took advantage of bonding with little Charlotte during the quiet moments after her speedy birth: "Momma and Charlotte started bonding right away while nursing. Charlotte seemed to be a pro at latching on. Momma will have no worries there!"
