This family….. I can’t explain how attached I’ve grown to them! Watching them evolve from brand new parents (and all the uncertainty that goes along with your first newborn…. ) into the confident, relaxed team that they are now makes me proud.  Being a new mom & dad is HARD, but they survived and are still smiling! 🙂

T Family… thank you again for letting me be a tiny piece in your family’s story. Capturing these moments with your trio is an honor and a ton of fun!

Sweet Baby Girl…. I think she wins the “most-contented” newborn award! The entire time I was there, I heard only one half-hearted peep. Awake, asleep… just pure honey.

I was madly in love with this session (and this family!), so I’m over sharing – and this is just a taste of all the cuteness in their gallery.

Starting with some sweet baby-as-the-star images:

 

Then getting to spend some time with the whole family! This is why I adore my lifestyle/posed newborn sessions.

This family… these human beings… they are my people. Far more than clients, they are friends. I’ve been capturing their personal story since they were a family of three. How LUCKY am I?!

This particular session featured Miss Hannah – she is so sweet & spunky! (and how cool is mom for letting her little girl take the reigns on the look and feel of the evening??)  Considering I’ve always been a Grease-lovin’, Doris-Day-watching, Bobby-Darin-singing-along-er, just born in the wrong era….. I was LOVING Hannah’s retro theme. Never mind that mama was the epitome of pin-up gorgeousness… all was right with my soul.

Thank you again R family! It is always such a pleasure to spend time with you guys!

Without further adieu, a tiny handful of my favorites from our time together:

Happy 2017!

Over the girls’ Christmas break, I had the pure joy of traveling to this mama’s house to photograph both her brand new baby boy and his proud big brother.

This little fella was one of my oldest newborns so far at nearly a month. Luckily, I was able to get this precious baby into dreamland long enough to capture a handful of sweet, sleepy shots. After his cat nap, he was all action!

While I had Liam on my posing pillow, big bro Noah came to “check on things”. He found it HILARIOUS that I was taking photos of baby brother in his birthday suit.  He was a fabulous host – offering me the privilege of holding his pet turtle AND playing with his toys. 😉
