I was orginally scheduled to photograph this little girl as a fresh newborn back in late April. Due to some complications towards the end of my pregnancy, we had to push it off a bit. I was so excited to finally meet this little one, who is now about to turn 3 months old. It was definitely worth the wait!
25 comments from friends/family = a 5×7 on me :)
My goal at this session was to get some intimate interactions between her and her parents since we missed out on those as a newborn. I just love this series of her and her daddy.

I loved watching her momma rock her to sleep, singing softly in her ear. These are the moments that are etched in our minds forever as mommas. Such fleeting, sweet moments.

Of course, we can’t forget big brother :) He warmed up to me right away, and we had a blast playing cars together. He’s going to be smooth with the ladies someday ;)

R & K – Thanks for meeting me at the loft today! Enjoy your peek!
Note: If you are interested in a loft session, shoot me an email. I still have a few spots open. If your session is already on the books, just let me know that you’d like to meet at the loft and we’ll make it happen!
