The last time I saw Olive and her family was at their family maternity session in the park, which can be viewed by clicking here. She sent me a message to let me know that they had welcomed a second baby boy, and we scheduled their newborn session. A couple of days before their session, Olive sent me a message again to ask if we could reschedule the session due to a spinal headache from the epidural. I totally understand that unforeseen postpartum complications can happen, and we will work with you to get you rescheduled. She was very concerned that this would be "too late" since Chandler would be three weeks old at the time of the rescheduled session. I reassured her that this wouldn't be the case and it would all be just fine. We photograph three week old babies ALL the time in the studio. So if you're a mama reading this who really wanted a newborn session but thought after two weeks was too late...contact us now to see if we can fit you in!
On the day of the session, Olive arrived with just Chandler. When families have older toddlers, we have dad bring the big sibling(s) about 90 minutes into the session. We'll also plan around their nap schedule if necessary since we want them to be comfortable and happy too!
Chandler was SUCH a little lovebug. I mean, look at that head of hair and squishy little cheeks! Near the end of the session, he started waking up and I was able to capture some adorable direct camera gazes.
When daddy and big brother arrived, Dudley gave me a few high fives. It's always wonderful to have already worked with a family recently as the children are usually comfortable with me since they remember our recent session, and know what to expect. Big brother Dudley was so proud to be a part of the session and loves his little brother. I know the two of them will be the best of friends as they grow, and I can't wait to document Chandler's milestones through the first year of his life!
Here are a few of my favorite images from Chandler's newborn session!
