I went to visit the “B” family for a newborn/family session last weekend. We got some amazing and sweet images of mom and dad with their 3 little girls as well as some great individual portraits of each of the children.
While baby sister was being fed I got to entertain “A” (5 yrs old) & “J” (2 yrs old). We proceeded to make a fort out of the baby blankets and take photos of each other taking photos. The photos that resulted were pretty great as well.
My perspective:
“A”‘s perspective:
This sweet boy knows what he likes; he likes to be cuddled close. I always tell parents that I let the baby tell me how the session should go. Some babies like to be naked, some don’t; some don’t mind hats, others can not tolerate them; some love to be swaddled tightly, others like their hands left out of the swaddle. This is why, even though I may come into a newborn session with a game plan, the baby always makes the final call and I respect that until the end.
It always amazes me and solidifies for me what a miracle each little baby is with how quickly their personalities shine through even when it seems that they only eat, sleep, and….well, you get my point, I am sure. 😉
Some of my favorite things are….
Cuddles with mom…
Smiles at dad…
Cute hats for boys…
Baby yawns…
Sweet cuddles…
And finally, more baby smiles…
What is cool about my job? Getting to see little tiny babies like this sweet girl…
Grow up into a beautiful little person…
Baby girl “S” is now a big sister and sharing her “Time Out” chair willingly 😀
Thank you so much “S” family for allowing me to capture your beautiful family during these special moments in your life. It has been such an honor to see your family grow!
This sweet doll got to be the first one to try out my antique find. I was so over the moon to find this sweet lace baby bonnet and it is in mint condition. She looks like a little porcelain doll with it on and I ♥ it!
And a little mommy love
