BRAND NEW: BABY ASHER (PITTSBURGH NEWBORN)

Hannah and Chad are a Leeann Marie, Wedding Photographer couple. Their Bella Serra Wedding was stunning and documented to perfection. Since they came to me from Leeann, I instantly knew something about them: They value family and understand how important it is to document moments with the people you love. So, will I travel to Morgantown, WV to help them capture the first few weeks at home with their newest love, Baby Asher? YES! I generally focus on families in the greater Pittsburgh area, but will absolutely travel for a new family who I just know will be so wonderful to work for! They didn’t disappoint…

Baby Asher made his debut and that was it. Hannah and Chad know a new kind of heart bursting, unconditional love, and their furbaby got a new best buddy! The whole family is so in love with his perfect little features and adorable face. He’s an eating machine and his mama is just doing the most fantastic job with giving him all that he could ever need.

Their home is absolutely gorgeous, with style bursting from the wall to wall. I could have shot in every single room but we focused on the nursery and their master bedroom. We let the session happen naturally (which is the only way to do it in my opinoin)! When Asher was hungry… mama nursed. When he was ready to sleep, we swaddled. When he was ready to snuggle up to his parents, perfect moments came alive.

I have to comment too on their choice of wardrobe. They nailed it. Simple, neutrals, a little floral on mama… they all complimented each other and allowed their natural interactions to take center stage. I could have photographed this newborn and his parents all day. I could write a small novel about my time with them but I am going to allow the images to do the talking now.

To Baby Asher and his loving family – I wish you nothing but a world and home that is overflowing with more happiness than you can handle. Thank you for letting me into your new world for just a bit!
