When babies give us an awake portrait like this, it’s the BEST surprise! 😂

Most newborns sleep through their session, but every once in a while, we get a moment like this. Baby Leni gave us the sweetest little expression, and I’m so glad we captured it just in time 📸

Moments like these are fleeting and so worth preserving.

Newborn sessions aren’t just about the baby…
they’re about your first moments with your newest family member, the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, and the deep love shared between each member of your family.

This sweet baby is so loved, and I’m so grateful to capture this family’s joyful beginning. 🤍

Those eyes. 😍

Wide awake and already taking it all in, just days old and completely stealing the spotlight. There is something so magical about an alert newborn session. The connection, the tiny expressions, the way they already feel so present.

Mom envisioned a newborn session that beautifully coordinated with big brother’s portraits from two years ago, so we chose colors and props that felt cohesive, classic, and timeless.

And this is just the beginning. 🤍
We are already planning his tummy time session, and I will be capturing his sitter milestone and first birthday portraits, just like I did for his big brother. Watching families grow and documenting each stage year after year is truly the greatest honor.

If you are expecting, do not stop at newborn photos. Your baby’s first year goes by faster than you think.
