On the front of Charlotte’s newborn announcement is a line of very subtle type that says, “Welcome baby girl, we loved you before we knew you.” I love the photograph we used on the front. Charlotte is being held by both mom and dad. I took the picture in evening light on their back deck with Charlotte’s dad wearing a black t-shirt as our backdrop as he held her.

Here’s the back of the card. I love the sequence of photographs that show Charlotte’s family picture with her big brother’s various expressions: looks to me like jealousy, curiosity and happiness. The actual card also included the family’s last name, in case you were wondering about that. I love this design! It’s so elegant and I love the soft rose color we used as a tribute to Charlotte’s middle name.
