Reed Jonathan – 6 days new | Columbus Newborn Photography

I’ve been so excited to show you these images. Its no secret that i absolutely adore newborn photography. These teeny tiny babies grow so fast and they’re only this small for such a short time. I think its so important to capture how tiny they are because i think its easy to forget as they get bigger. When i found out that Jeff and Lauren were expecting (by accident, before lauren could tell me, sorry LDH!) i was so over the moon for them. They are already wonderful parents to their sweet pup, Penelope, i knew they would make fabulous parent to a human baby as well. It totally killed me that they weren’t finding out what they were having, just like my sister didn’t, gah! But i suspected it was a boy and i was right! His birth story is a funny one.. they almost didn’t make it to the hospital in time! As a first time mom, lauren thought she had plenty of time after she started feeling contractions and after her water broke.. little did she know, they made it to the hospital in the nick of time, with no time to get an epidural or anything. The doctor barely made it into their room in time. Lauren and Jeff had JUST moved into their new house. Literally they slept on their mattress on the floor for the first time on thursday night and Reed made his appearance on Friday! He wasn’t messing around. And boy is he perfect, and so darling! I think he looks just like his daddy, who unfortunately was so busy at work he couldn’t take time off to be a part of this session.. but we will make sure he is in the next one! Without further ado, meet baby Reed!

well hello their bright eyes! oh these teeny tiny baby feet melt me! i die!love love love. LDH, YOU ARE GORGEOUS!ten perfect little fingers. so sweet. we were lying there, trying to get baby Reed to fall back to sleep and Penelope wanted to sneak in for some cuddles too. She loves her new baby brother. i got a few good expressions from Reed throughout the session and i just can’t resist this little smirk/smile. How freaking adorable is he. 

Lauren and Jeff, thank you for trusting me to capture these first newborn portraits of your sweet perfect little nugget. You know i adore you guys. Cant wait to see you all again! xxJBZ
