I have been unbelievably lucky this fall to have as many newborn photography sessions as i have. I adore photographing newborns and getting to snuggle these sweet babies. I definitely get my baby fix this way. Baby Henry had the most perfect baby rolls and perfectly creamy skin. He didn’t wanna sleep much for me, way too interested in the world around him, but when he did fall asleep, i was able to get a few of my absolute favorite shots. A big thanks to mom and dad, lauren and steve, for letting me hang out with their new baby all day!
