Caitlin and Stephen hold a special place in my heart. When we started our photography business, they were the one of the very first couples who booked us!

I’ve documented some of the biggest chapters of their lives, including their engagement, wedding, and maternity photos.

It’s such a huge honor to watch them welcome their newest addition to the family: Baby Christopher! Mom and Dad were both on about four hours of sleep, but they didn’t even look sleep deprived.

When shooting a newborn session, you’re on the baby’s time. We went through a few diaper changes, bottles, and some crying. Flexibility is key.

I didn’t mind waiting for the perfect moment between tears and smiles. We definitely captured plenty of precious moments!

The small details are often the most special! I love focusing on small hands and feet, tiny fingers and toes. Christopher won’t stay this small for much longer!

One of the best things about the nursery was that it had white walls to reflect the natural light. A well-lit room means amazing pictures, so we opened the blinds for even better results!

White walls help, but so do a splash of color! Christopher had an amazing “Hello, Christopher” accent wall painted over his crib. How cute is that!

Christopher doesn’t cry when new people visit, but he does when they leave! Caitlin texted me about thirty minutes after I left to tell me that Christopher shed tears on cue.
