I am always excited to hear from expectant moms about photographing her new baby in what I feel to be the most precious way–at home and as it is. I think this sweet momma felt the most like I do than any I’ve been honored to photograph in the past. As a matter of fact, she was so easy going that after seeing her new baby boy do so well in just a short time, she was happy with what she saw (That’s all I want! So, with that and a very hungry and often nursing baby in hand, I was on my way. That’s how I work best, no fuss, no pressure, no must haves or dos, just let the baby (and his mommy) take the lead, get what we can and leave them to be together once again. Of all things I love, Mommy being close by is one of the best…and the fact that the clock is in the photo is great. Time with a newborn seems to run altogether. So glad to catch a glimpse of when this was all happening.
Baby H loved to keep his hands up by his face. His mommy said that in every ultrasound shot, he’s doing the same. So incredible these tiniest people are. I’m amazed a new each time I get to photograph a newborn.
He looks peaceful and content…and he was, after some time and for a minute or two. He knew there was milk to be had close by! Who could blame him?
His sister was doing a good job learning to be a big sister. For two year olds, this little baby is no small thing. She’s beautiful and I know she’s going to be a wonderful big sister.
After a few snacks and right before I was heading out, baby H awoke to see what was going on all around him. Only a few days old, but very curious already. Welcome to the world Big Guy. I wish you the best in all the days ahead of you for you and your sweet little family!
Thank you for inviting me in and allowing me the honor to share these fleeting few hours with you as you adjust to your new normal. Blessings as your new family grows and adjusts.
