This was my first time capturing this brand new family of three (well four, because their golden doodle, Lemon, didn’t want to leave their side!). There is something so fun about meeting new families and celebrating this incredibly sweet and exciting time in their lives.

They had just gotten home from the hospital with baby Alec just a few days before the shoot and they were exhausted but happy. The first few weeks are such a blur and are so easily forgotten because all of your focus is on this new little human in your life that your memories just don’t seem to stick like we want them to. This is way I just love capturing this moment so early in the beginning of this huge life change.

I may not be capturing alllll the dirty diapers, middle of the night feedings, and messy hair, sweatpants and spit up stained shirts, but I am freezing the sweetest part of this period in our lives…their tinyness (is that even a word??) and the love you have for this new little being. This hour that you spend with me is an hour to slow down, not think of anything other than how perfect your little one is, and how much you love your family. That is what you will remember when you look back at your photos. That is also why I love doing what I do so much!
