Baby Mary | Tremont Lifestyle Baby Photos

Oh my goodness. This sweet, peaceful newborn session has a soft spot in my heart. At six weeks old, little Mary was technically not a newborn when we took these photos, and that's because she and her mom (and dad!) went through some trying times at the beginning of her life. Some complications after her birth left her mom, Caitlin, in the hospital for a lot longer than anyone anticipated, and it was hard all around.

During the session, I commented on how sweet and easy Mary was, and Caitlin said she thinks it's because she's had to deal with lots of ups and downs already. Whether or not that's true, this little girl is an angel. Her entire family is home now, and one thing is certain: They love each other!

Baby Parker | Chagrin Falls Lifestyle Newborn Photos

This family is one of my favorites. They have so much love and patience and respect for each other. It's the best thing to photograph. I captured big brother Leo's newborn session last year and I was crossing my fingers that I'd get to photograph another of Del and Andrea's babies. My wish came true and Miss Parker was just as much of a dream as her brother. I allllmost shared every photo from this session but decided to go with my favorites or my favorites. Enjoy the sweetness!

Baby Jameson | Newborn

Oh, baby boy! This sweet, sweet guy and his family stole my heart. Jameson's brother and sister doted on him, he yawned more than a few times, and he was perfectly content in mom and dad's arms.

Baby Rosalie | Newborn

Are you ready to meet the most graceful new parents ever? You've actually already met them if you've followed my blog for awhile. Katie and Mason are some of my very favorites, and I was lucky enough to photograph their engagement and wedding … and now their first baby! What an honor! Rosalie is the luckiest little girl to have parents like these two.

My favorite things about this session included:

• Rosalie's huge, watchful eyes. I love when newborns are awake for part of the session.
• Watching Katie and Mason take this parenting thing in stride and support each other when Rosalie needed something.
• The quiet, cloudy morning that set the tone for this sweet newborn session.
• The gorgeous leaded windows we got shoot in front of. Katie and Mason's apartment is to die for!

So much love.
