Shortly before the holidays, I received a call from an expectant momma looking to schedule a simple newborn session without props. After talking things over via email, an Everyday Session sounded like it would the perfect fit for this family.
The session took place at their home less than a week after the birth of their daughter.
Who, by the way, was an absolute beauty.
This sweet little bundle has a big brother as well:
He not only LOOOOOOVED my camera bag but is a big fan of Caillou as well. And technology. 🙂
The way he’s holding onto his finger in the image above just melts my heart! Same with the little peek below:
The sunlight just spilled into their home which was so much fun for me:
A few of my favorite family images:
And more of that magical sunlight:
Grandma was in town as well so I was able to capture her with her one and only granddaughter!
Such a precious time in their lives. Capturing this young family in their home will not only help them remember how/where they lived, but these photographs will also help them recall the memories and feelings associated with the birth of their daughter. They will also be reminded of how their son responded to the new addition, along with his personality and interests at the time.
Snapshots of real life. Nothing quite compares in my book.
Thank you again, Sarah, for allowing me the privilege of capturing your sweet, sweet family of four!
LOVE how you captured the newborn body fuzz! Such wonderful photos.
Thanks, Crystal! Those details are important because they change so quickly at that age. (Her momma even commented on how much she’s changed since the session.)
