Baby Stella arrived last week. Mom and dad kept me high on the contact list and sent me a quick email upon her arrival. Thankfully, we were able to schedule a newborn session quickly to get the best of little Stella’s first days. She was only four days old when we did her session. I was excited to see the family’s newest addition after only being them a month ago for a maternity session.  Amy and John were sweet and glowing once again…don’t you agree!? Enjoy my favorites from their session…

Before and after…great idea, Amy!

I’m definitely doing these with every newborn from here on out! The simplicity is just beautiful!

Stella was pretty wide-eyed for the first half of the session…

Baby details!

There’s just something about family time on the couch that’s so natural and comfortable. Love these kind of “lifestyle” shots!

Now for my absolute favorites! Just mommy and daughter sharing some quiet moments together…:)

Amy, you’re such a beautiful mom!

Amy and John, thank you so much for inviting me into your home to capture such a special time in your lives. Your little family is adorable and Stella is beautiful! I look forward to seeing more pictures of her as she grows!

*I am trying to incorporate more “lifestyle” portrait sessions into my work so if you’re interested in family, newborn, maternity, or senior portraits with a natural, comfortable look, let me know!
