this little pretty made her debut before we even had a moment to take her momma's maternity photos... but, what a lovely surprise to spend the afternoon enjoying all of her sweetness!
in between feedings and cat naps, i got to loose myself in all things newborn. this shot makes me want to shower her soft skin with kisses...
...love the creases on the bottom of her tiny feet.
one of the best parts of my job is getting to capture each momma interacting with her new babe... there is so much love and happiness... and despite what it might feel like for a mom in the hustle of day to day, i see calm.
then, i got another wonderful surprise... sawyer's auntie arrived during our shoot and i got to enjoy them meeting for the first time! it reminded me of friends coming by to meet d when she was new... such happy memories. love at first sight is a powerful thing.
