A playful at-home newborn session with an adorable big brother and chickens?! These are the things dreams are made of. :)
Mr. Otto was such a little gentleman, showing me his new brother Finley, sharing his bang snaps with me on the driveway and introducing me to his favorite chickens.
And Finley was the chillest baby, letting everyone love on him and sleeping through aforementioned bang snaps, big brother tickling, and the sticky, summer heat.
There are few things I love more than photographing a past bride and groom with their first baby. Kelly and Steve are going to be the best parents! Welcome to the world, Remi!
This session has a really special place in my heart because this little family goes to our church! I was SO honored when Leigh and Tim asked me to document this new season in their lives. I've come to adore newborn sessions, but photographing a friend's newborn? It makes it that much sweeter.
Leigh and Tim are fantastic parents, and I'm already looking up to them. They both have such calm demeanors, and I'm pretty sure their relaxed attitude has transferred to Soren. I haven't heard him cry once in church! :) These two are also both so intelligent, involved with the community and have hearts of gold. I strive to be Leigh and Tim when I grow up! Soren is a lucky baby boy.
So peaceful.
That cradle is a family heirloom. And because of that, this is my favorite photo of the whole bunch. :) Congratulations again, Leigh and Tim!
They were convinced it was a girl. Jeanna and Brian decided not to find out the sex of their baby while Jeanna was pregnant (because, as Brian says, "It's one of the few, true surprises in life") … but, still, they were convinced it was a girl. So much so that they didn't really agree on a boy's name before they went to the hospital. And then Brian saw the mop of hair and knew, somehow, he had a son.
Jeanna and Brian are smitten with Wyatt Nathaniel. His pouty lips and hair just like his dad's, his porcelain skin and baby wrinkles--what's not to love?? I so enjoyed spending a chilly February afternoon with these three. Enjoy my favorites!
I love this one. It looks like Brian's already imparting his wisdom on Wyatt.
Jeanna is a beautiful mom!
Love.
