I last worked with Katharine and Howard for their winter maternity session at the park location which you can view by clicking here. I was so excited to hear that Henry had arrived, and we scheduled his newborn session to take place two weeks later. Katharine chose to add on hair and makeup services and worked with Megan.

When they arrived, Henry was sound asleep in his car seat. Katharine and I looked through the studio wardrobe, and she chose a beautiful champagne pink dress. I began working with Henry for his solo portraits while Howard relaxed on the couch and Katharine was being pampered by Megan. Henry was the cutest little squish and so easy going. I loved photographing all of his little details, and was amazed at how he curled up in my lap while I was wrapping him. I never force babies into poses, and tend to wrap them as they naturally fold. He was definitely one of my easiest babies in the history of the studio.

After I finished with Henry's solo portraits we moved on parent and family images. Katharine is so in love with Howard and her son, and was just radiant and beaming. Howard is such a sweet guy, and he's a great dad. I was pretty sure he would be a doting father when I first met him, and I was right. I loved watching this new little family of three together in the studio, and was so happy to get to be a small part of their passage to parenthood. It's an honor to be chosen as the photographer for each family, and it's one that I don't take lightly.

Here are some of my favorite images of sweet Henry and his loving parents!
