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 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!

Baby Mila | Newborn

This session was oh-so-fun for me. Remember Melissa and Michael and their epic Serbian wedding? Mila is their baby! (By the way, how cute is it that their names all start with "M"?) I cannot tell you how amazing it is to be a part of such big stages in a couple's life. It's really mind-blowing that I get to document such important life events!

Baby Mila has such a sweet temperament. Besides being a tad fussy when mom wasn't holding her, she was so calm and observant the whole session. :) And do I even need to mention the hair? It's already so beautiful! She's an adorable little girl.

Mila's nursery colors are so unique! Coral, teal and a golden yellow. So pretty for a little girl!

I adore this one. The contrast between baby's fingers and dad's finger is just so incredible.

Baby Belen | Newborn

It was a cold and snowy December day when I arrived at the E family's house, ready to take pictures of their brand-new baby girl. Inside the house it was warm and oh-so-cozy, just right for little Belen. This little lady was just a few days old when she was photographed. She was SO easy to work with, and I had fun capturing all her facial expressions. I'm also convinced she's going to be a dancer or a gymnast because she kept her legs moving and her hands were constantly poised (see above … all you gymnasts know what I'm talking about!).

Every time I do a newborn session, I love it more and more. Enjoy my favorites from Miss Belen's session, with appearances from her brother, Logan.

I love when newborns are awake for some of their session. You can see a little of their personality already forming!

My heart melts.

Thank you E family!
