This sweet family was awaiting this little man’s arrival the last you saw them here. Well, the wait is over. His whole family has fallen madly in love with this sweet, laid back little man. I couldn’t get over the striking resemblance to his big brother and his daddy, but mom says he has big sister’s long fingers, too. How could they not fall in love with this sweet thing?

Don’t you want this picture in your house? I do and it’s not even my kid!

I just loved how he tucked his teensy little pinky finger in.

What stunning parents!

Who doesn’t love a baby in a basket?

Sleepy little love.

I feel so honored to have had this family entrust me with these amazing memories. I hope you guys will love these photos as much as I enjoyed making them and as much as I enjoyed getting to know you! I love when a client ends up as a friend.

You know how sometimes when you meet someone through someone else, you know why your mutual acquaintance is so crazy about them? So it was with this mama. We have a mutual friend, someone I’ve known and adored since she was young (she was my baby sister’s first babysitter) and then she grew into an adult who, in a word, rocks. So when she gave this mama a gift certificate for a session and gushed about how amazing she was, when I met her, I knew what the hype was about. She and her husband are darling, sweet wonderful parents to this little sweet peanut. I am often in awe of how graceful and calm the new mamas I encounter in this job are, as I was frantic, harried and neurotic. None of that here – she and her sweet husband were giggly, blissful and calm.

I was so excited to finally get the email that Baby A had been born. You see, his mom was sure she’d go early with him, as she had with his brother. But nope! Baby A kept his family waiting. And waiting! But, as all babies do, he eventually arrived and his parents and big brother instantly fell in love with him. If this gorgeous family looks familiar to you, it’s because they’re this family!

Anyway, they were all thrilled to introduce me to Baby A, the newest member of the family!

The one below is my personal favorite from the session. Those cheeks! Those lips. That baby chub. He is so darling, M Family! Congratulations again.

The best part about doing maternity + newborn sessions bundled together is that after I’ve met the fabulous parents to be, I get to go back a few weeks later and meet that baby whose arrival was so anticipated!

It was no exception when I went to see baby Levi. I really ~~nearly~~ squealed when I walked through the door, he was just that cute. I met him on his 7th day of life, and I had so much fun photographing him! He was a dream baby model – by that I mean he just slept and slept, so I was able to get so many great photos of him in a short period of time.

I always love getting shots of parents when I do my newborn sessions. Even when parents think they don’t want photos of themselves, I think those are ones they treasure later when they remember how small their baby was at first, since it’s true that they grow so fast.

I just adore this family and am so glad that I was able to work with them and get to know them. They are truly beautiful on the inside and out. (Of course, you know that Shaun treated me to some hilarity and some great expressive faces when Levi peed during their family photos, too!) I feel so fortunate that you trusted me to capture such an important milestone in your family’s life.

Loving the little contented smiles he gave throughout the session. This boy knows he’s loved.

Love is pain, indeed. <3

Beautiful mama (seriously love her), beautiful moment. Baby smile too?! Best photo ever!

If you know me at all, you know that this photo nearly stopped my heart when I saw it. I want a huge canvas of this in my office.

Cari and Shaun, you two are meant to be. You’re both so amazing – I’m so glad you found each other! And so glad that Levi has you. <3

I was pretty surprised to be photographing this little baby girl last week, because on the day I met her, she was 2.5 weeks from her due date, and she was already 8 days old. She joins a beautiful big sister and an adorable big brother, who were some of the first kids I photographed when I was starting out. (You might remember her beautiful parents from this blog post http://www.jamiesieverphotography.com/shes-having-a-baby-main-line-maternity-photographer. ) When her mom emailed to say she had just given birth, I was surprised but thrilled to meet this little lady.

She loved being photographed! She was just the sweetest little thing, completely sleeping through all of the poses that she moved through. What a dream model she was! I loved chatting with her mom, hearing all about her big sister’s new big girl room, watching her big brother with his tools and getting a laugh from her dad, too. Baby K is lucky to be joining this fantastic family!

Enjoy your sneak peek, N and L! Can’t wait to show you the rest of them!
