This family had quite the special delivery when one of their twins was born in a different year than the other. Talk about a New Year’s surprise! It was a sheer joy to meet & photograph this family. Can’t wait to blog more of the beautiful images from this session!

These little girls where to be my first newborn twin session. I was excited that I would get to travel at the end of January to their home to take pictures with them and their older sister. However their entrance was a little early and they both needed to spend time in the NICU. In situations like this I offer parents complimentary NICU sessions to help document their newborns journey. The girls were a a couple weeks old when I went to see them in the hospital.  Megan is the younger, larger twin in the pink onesie. Her older sister Anna is small & wearing a brown onesie.

By the end of the shoot is was apparent to me that Anna was quite a bit more fragile. After returning home I receive an email from their mom saying that Anna would be needing open heart surgery the next week. Anna’s surgery went well and about a week later I visited again. Megan has already been discharged and Anna was looking stronger. I could see that she was tracking movement better. While I was there she hung out with her mom while Megan took a snooze in her dad’s arms.

Looking forward to getting to do their newborn shoot once Anna is out of the hospital!

Just weeks ago his mama was in getting maternity photos done. And now baby Beckett is here enthusiastically greeted by his older sister! Beckett’s a little older newborn (about 4 weeks) and therefore was bright and alert during our session. Here is a sneak peek our morning together –

Just a week previous I was there watching as this sweet little girl was born. . . amazingly calm and peaceful. And when I came back, there she was again, so calm and peaceful. I am not sure she even woke up at all during our session! If she did. she was back to sleep in no time. . .

Congratulations to these beautiful and proud parents! I imagine your holiday was extra special this year.

Oh how fun it is to meet a little newborn! Today this little girl came to the studio with her mom and grandma. Here is a sneak peek with some new newborn wraps, headbands and fur:

It is so nice to have an excuse to come back to see a baby you watched be born. When I saw baby M this morning, I could see changes. He didn’t have a smushed face any more; it had rounded out – taken its form. He was a really low-key guy the whole time I was there. And did I saw cute?!?! I will let you judge for yourself. . .

What better way to start a new blog than with a new baby. This little one was so tiny – you really do forget how small they are – and squishy! She was awake & alert most of the session. After a couple hours I thought perhaps we would need to give-up on a sleeping shot but then she finally dozed off . . .

Special thanks to Greta and her mom for spending the morning with me and being my first blog post!
