In the fall of 2009 I had the wonderful opportunity to travel through Europe. Thanks to Priceline, when we were booking our hotel for our visit to Florence, Italy, we somewhat by accident ended up staying nearby in this great place in the great tuscan city of Lucca. In this city we got to experience the absolute BEST meal ever and take a stroll down the picturesque path along the top of the wall surrounding the entire city. Needless to say, I loved Lucca. So when good friends of ours, Sergio and Samantha told us they were naming their son after this magical place, we knew he was going to be something special.
This little guy did not disappoint. With his momma's chin, great cheeks, long fingers, and big, wise eyes, he was a little trooper about us coming over and interrupting his nap. Unlike most newborns, who are normally just completely passed out for their first portrait, Lucca spent most of our session taking in his surroundings, seemingly deep in thought, especially when it came to the feeling of the fur throw against his cheek, it must have felt "tasty" because he kept trying to eat it! :) Once he finally tuckered out, he slept like a little angel on their bed. It was so nice to meet you, little Lucca, you certainly live up to your name!
