Baby Billy | Newborn

About 10 minutes into this session, I had already made a best friend out of Baby Billy's big sister, Brynn, and I was smitten with little Billy (William Francis to be exact). He was the chillest little guy and stayed awake, staring at the camera, the entire session! He was such a good sport … being coddled by Brynn, being swaddled and un-swaddled. It would be exhausting for anyone, let alone an 8-day-old baby.

My very favorite thing about photographing little Billy was watching his big sister coo and fuss over him. She's a natural at the whole big sister thing! Take a look ...

Look at Brynn's adorable, little face. What a cutie!

Billy's pretty handsome himself.

Baby Harrison | Newborn

I met days-old Harrison on a gloomy, rainy fall day. Inside his new home it was all cozy and glowy and cheery. His parents were thrilled that their first little one had arrived and they were already pros at going with the flow. (It was actually really impressive to watch. You're naturals, Tom and Lisa!)

Grab yourself a warm beverage and take a peek at Baby Harrison's first few days of life. A fun fact to ponder while you're perusing: Harrison shares a birthday with his mom … AND his maternal grandma! How crazy cool is that??

If you're wondering whether Harrison Ford had any influence on Baby Harrison's name, you're on the right track. ;)

Lisa, you are such a gorgeous mom!

Baby Sammy | Newborn

Baby Sammy is a little bit bigger now, but his parents are just as enthralled with him as they were the day he arrived into this world. When I have kids, I want to be as joyful about them as Deanna is about her little guy. I have such respect for these two; their positivity is contagious. Baby Sammy is bound to grow up the nicest and sweetest child there ever was.

And now my heart melts. That photo up there on the right? Geeeeez. So sweet!

Can we also talk about how gorgeous Deanna is? This was just a few days after giving birth! Wow, she is a pretty lady. :)

Baby burritos are my favorite thing. :)

Baby Braden | Newborn

This post makes my heart explode. See, Cyleigh (that gorgeous lady up there) and I went to college together and now I'm photographing her baby. What a crazy and serendipitous life this is. I could share some photos of us looking like babies ourselves from freshman year of college, but that would be embarrassing and so not the point of this post! The point is that Braden, Cyleigh and her husband Andrew's new baby, is the cutest little guy. He has such a sweet demeanor and I think his little nose is so adorable. See for yourself ...

Their pup, Baxter, is their first child. :) He is a fierce protector of his family.

That's Andrew's rattle that's been passed down to Braden. So cool!
