BABY LEO

We go way back. Back to when our fur-babies (who just so happen to be brothers from the same litter by complete chance) were our only babies. I cried a few happy tears when I found out that baby number two was on the way. This session meant so much to me.

I stepped into their gorgeous home, ready to document a little bit of life with their new addition. An in-home session with baby number 2, 3, 4, etc… mirrors life. It’s different than the first time around. There is more love to go around and so much more to capture. Each session is filled with more love and noise than the one before (if you can wrap your head around that).

The session flowed naturally, and big sister took the lead. I love it when this happens! So much changes for the older siblings when another baby makes their debut and I really enjoy making them a priority while I’m in their world. Some new sibling shots on a very special quilt were a must. Big sister in her element, check. Both babies curled up with the pup, aww! Mama and daddy loving on their littles… it was just the best!

Did I mention that sweet, handsome, and perfect, baby Leo was one of the very best babies that I have EVER photographed? Well, he was. He slept like a little champ. He snuggled up to every single pair of arms/paws. He was extra cute in his adorable nursery. Oh how I love this little guy! He’s their perfect addition in every way!

I could not possibly be any happier them all <3 Toddler playing in room
