Nothing is sweeter than a newborn baby. I met up with this lovely family in their home in near Sacramento, California. This little boy is now almost one and I am blushing over how long it has taken me to blog their newborn session!

I have two boys myself, so I have a special little place in my heart for this family. Those sleepless nights and the way a new baby squeaks out a tiny cry when they are hungry, gassy smiles, and that unforgettable baby smell. Breath in deep on those baby heads, my friend. All things that a new mama and dad will likely never forget and miss greatly after their little babe grows up.

I love how peaceful this sweet boy looks throughout his first photo session. These soft, simple, and comfortable newborn poses are my favorite. Babies should be wrapped softly, showing off their natural sleep positions and allows the parents to remember how their baby truly was in their first weeks.

And of course, family photos have to include the first children! Those precious pets that have stolen their parent’s hearts must always be included in the baby pictures. This sweet pup will grow up with their new baby friend and memories are bound to be made! I am looking forward to many more photo sessions with this baby and his family 🙂

Thank you to this beautiful family for having me out to their home to photograph this momentous occasion in their lives. Contact me anytime to inquire about maternity or newborn photographs. Newborn photography should take place within the first few weeks of life, when the baby still has those sweet characteristics of soft newborns. I love photographing newborn babies in their own home, to best capture their lives as it was during their first moments on earth.

Maternity and newborn packages are available to document the belly and the baby.

Kellie is a dear friend and one of my very first brides! She was married last year and you might recognize her from her wedding photos 🙂  I was overjoyed when this wonderfully kind couple announced their pregnancy!  I have been looking forward to doing this little boy’s newborn session for a while, and he definitely did not disappoint.  Their pup, George, also joined in the fun.

At Kellie and Matt’s wedding, there was a reading from The Velveteen Rabbit.  I tear up know thinking about Kellie and Matt’s love was the beginning of making their baby boy real.

“Weeks passed, and the little Rabbit grew very old and shabby, but the Boy loved him just as much. He loved him so hard that he loved all his whiskers off, and the pink lining to his ears turned grey and his brown spots faded. He even began to lose his shape, and he scarcely looked like a rabbit anymore, except to the Boy. To him he was always beautiful, and that was all that the little Rabbit cared about. He didn’t mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn’t matter.” – Margery Williams Bianco

This little family is going to love their boy forever…

I love his tiny little baby feet 🙂He is such a sweetheart!Love.

In between feeding after feeding, he managed a few sweet smiles for us.
Sweet dreams little man!George absolutely loves his new baby brother.  He softly walks around him, protects him, and makes sure mom and dad are fully aware when baby is crying 🙂Again…I adore his little toes 🙂Congratulations Kellie and Matt on the birth of your healthy and sweet baby boy! I can’t wait to document his first year for you.
