You will recognize the very first picture below, as it’s been on my page, timeline, promo materials, and anywhere I could enter it since I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! Baby Natalie’s parents were so warm and welcoming, and in this image love radiates. I love the backlighting; I love the emotion; I love how unposed it was and I caught the moment. It’s perfection to me.

Poor Natalie was all sleepy every moment of her life, except for when I showed up! She was such a sweet crier, and let me tell you the poor little lady had us trying to soothe her for the better part of our 4+ hour session. Mom and Dad followed all our instructions and we just hit her on growth spurt day. It happens and when it does, you make it work! While trying to soothe her though we got SOOOO many lifestyle family shots that I absolutely adore! And for about 20 minutes we got some sleepy posed lovliness including a sweet headband that mom knit while she was preggo 🙂 !!

So happy to have met this wonderful family and loved cuddling this little lady!
