I had such a wonderful time capturing newborn photos for this amazing family a few weeks ago! We had such a sweet time photographing baby boy D. I absolutely LOVED documenting the joy on Melissa and Jonathan’s faces, and photographing them together as a family (including their happy dog, Layla!).

I thought one of the cutest and memorable thing from this shoot was how baby D loved to stretch and arch his back! A lot of times, the babies I shoot tend to curl and snuggle in a fetal position, but this boy loved to flex his body! I loved capturing the moment when Jonathan was holding baby D, and baby D spontaneously shot out his arms out as if to say, “what’s up?” :)

Another moment that I found to be so precious was when Layla was calmly resting at the foot of their bed, and I wanted to capture her sweet demeanor and document that memory. I remember Melissa and Jonathan told me that their dog was keenly aware when Melissa was pregnant very early on (even before anyone else knew!). She would stay close to Melissa and be protective of her. It truly amazes me how animals can be so in tune with us!

I had SO much fun capturing photos of this sweet family again! We started off the shoot with some family portraits on the front steps, and then we captured a lot of candid shots of the kids! Since most kids are wiggly and are constantly on the move, I love incorporating photos of children moving and having FUN! One of the best ways to capture joyful expressions is letting your kids do what they love. During the session, I had the oldest son ride his bike around his family, and the grin on his face was priceless! I also loved capturing the boys on their scooters, playing in the treehouse, and being silly with their parents. I also snuck in a quick portrait of just the parents because I know it’s not often you get a photo of just the two of you (most people tell me the last time they got a professional photo of the two of them was their wedding day!).

First birthdays are such a special milestone! Last month I had the honor of photographing the Daniels family again, and it was EXACTLY on Baby H’s first birthday! We had SO much fun capturing lots of snuggles and smiles, and there were so many cute moments. I love how Baby H would start laughing when his dad, Mitch, would start making a deep, hearty laugh (that’s how we got a lot of these smiles!). I also loved capturing photos of Baby H waving his hand to say hi or bye! I remember my niece doing the same thing around this age, and it’s seriously the CUTEST thing! We also incorporated the blue sweater that Kirah knitted, and also included his stuffed Hobbes in the shoot (you may recall seeing them at their maternity shoot and newborn shoot). I love it when families incorporate special items into the shoot! It makes the photos even more meaningful.

Enjoy scrolling through my favorite highlights below, and happy birthday again to Baby H!
