Here are a few of my favorites from a newborn session with a lovely family that I had the pleasure of photographing this last week. They welcomed their little boy, Michael, into the world and what a perfect addition he is to this beautiful family.
Michael didn't want to fall asleep and insisted on hanging out with us -- fine with me because I was able to capture his handsome baby blues.
In the end, he passed out and showed us the sleeping angel that he is. Love his little index finger in this shot!
As a side note, my mom visited me last week and, as I was showing her a newborn Session Album that had recently created, she said in a low voice, "You know, we never had anything like this for you guys. I really wish that we had."
At that moment, I imagined what it would have been like to see my parents as they were when I was born, to see them kissing as they held me in their arms, to see the love in their eyes.
When I create my images, I like to think that, one day, this little newborn baby will be an adult and will have these pictures to look back on, to remember his parents as young, loving, adventurous individuals who wanted to share their life with another human being. I want that for you and your children -- memories captured.
