Newborn Photography, 11 Days makes a Big Brother and a Little Sister

I met these guys when this big brother was only 12 days himself..and now at almost 3, he has a new little beautiful sister on the scene.

Shoots with a toddler and a newborn are verrrrry different than the zenlike shoots of a newborn alone. Ha! There is a lot to balance and mostly it's about this life change that has happened for the little toddler, once the only adorable one in the spotlight, having to share. It's no doubt confusing, scary, and exciting for them all at once. And more often than not, they'd rather be playing with any number of toys close by than holding their new itty bitty sibling...but when it happens, it's precious... in a kind of forever way.

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your new family of 4!
It was such a treat.

This sweet little girl gave us a run for our money... you sometimes have to be ready to shoot pretty quickly upon arrival...! We started off calm and collected right at the beginning, followed by a loooong intermission of cries. But wrapped up with a finale of sweet sleeping and even some smiles...those moments make you forget there was ever even one little cry in the first place! There is nothing sweeter!

Congratulations Felicia + Chris.
Thanks for inviting me to photograph life at 2 months!

Newborn Photography, 18 Days!

Ahhh, how sweet is he!

I really adore my newborn shoots I have to say. I love the process... of meeting a family at the door for the first time, and then spending 3 super intimate hours together, during a pretty vulnerable time...freshly home from the hospital, probably haven't even seen many friends yets, sleep deprived, learning to navigate the life of and with a newborn...and then opening up your home to a stranger with a camera and lots of equipment...I am SO grateful for each and every shoot...and I leave feeling so cozy inside, knowing we together (trust me these shoots are not all me, thank you to the parents!) recorded a really, really special time together...so, thank you!

This shoot at 18 days was that exact process...and I have a huge smile on my face as I edit and remember it all...

p.s. I'm obsessed with mom Jennifer's eyes...omg!!

All the best to you guys!
