This little baby boy was the sweetest thing ever. He just slept and ate and cuddled throughout our time together. Mommy was super relaxed too, which made for a wonderful session. I love the beautiful portraits we created for their new family.

7 days old & sweet as pie
I had the joy of photographing a beautiful spring baby girl the other day. At only 7 days old, she was so happy to snuggle, sleep, and eat. My kind of girl! Thanks B family for inviting me into your home during these special early days. It was an honor to be one of the first meet her and welcome her into this world.
This first image is one of my very favorites. I can’t stop looking at it. She’s so beautiful and peaceful. And, oh how I love that baby skin. Those cute cheeks resting on her tiny hands while all bundled in a soft pink blanket. Swoon.
And I love those tiny fingers and toes. Does it get much sweeter than this?
Some beautiful black and white portraits. I love that she was both awake and asleep — we got some great variety in our shots.
And I love mommy and daddy kissing here with their newest addition in their arms. What a loving family. You’re off to a fantastic start as a unit of three!
Thanks again for a lovely morning. It was a perfect start to the weekend.

There’s nothing quite like photographing a baby in his or her first days of life. In fact, if you are expecting a baby, it’s best to schedule your newborn session while pregnant—like this smart new mommy did. That way, when you’re on the way to the hospital, all arrangements are set and you’ll be sure to have photos of your newborn baby in those early days. I couldn’t wait for this family to deliver because I just knew their little one would be the sweetest bundle. And was I ever right!
I love these early closeup images.
Little m’s room was decorated so nicely. From all the vintage Fisher-Price toys on the shelves to the antique dry sink that mommy and daddy converted, smartly, into a changing table to the quilt made by the proud grandmother, it was all so beautifully thought out and put together with love. What a special place for a special baby.
Look at her all swaddled up — she’s breathtaking.
And of course, we couldn’t let the session end without including the firstborn. While so gentle and kind with the new baby, he was beyond thrilled to steal the limelight for a few seconds. He couldn’t believe his ears when we invited him to jump on the bed!
