“Babies are like little suns that, in a magical way, bring warmth, happiness and light into our lives. – By Kartini Diapari-Oengider”

Oh, baby Lydia! What a treat to meet this little one. She was three weeks old during our session and determined not to miss a moment. Can you believe those gorgeous eyes?

What I love about newborn sessions is the realness of the moments. I get to come into the moments of new parenthood, of discovering this tiny human, and capture some of that sweetness. This tiny little person wanted some snack breaks then as all babies do, wanted a little cuddling.

I love just stepping back and capturing these cute caregiving moments of babyhood happen, feeding and snuggling. Sometimes they happen together as a team, and sometimes they happen independently. It feels like such a privilege to get to witness families go through that learning process together. I know these moments seem so small, but they feel so momentous to witness in these early days.

Megan is so fantastic at quilting and handmade this baby blanket for baby Lydia over the course of this year. The amount of love and time poured into this blanket is astounding.

And the kitties! Megan, Matt & Lydia have three adorable cats who were so friendly. They came over to play with some of the fun things in my camera bag and are so sweet with the new addition to their house.
