I just love photographing new families - whether it's a newborn session because they just brought home their first baby or a cake smash because their "baby" is turning one (or two or three)! Because let's face it: they'll always be "babies" to us ;)
Not that I don't equally love sessions for families bigger than three, but there is just something so special about that time when you have your first. You're feeling that amazing, unexplainable love for the first time, and you're still trying to wrap your head around how it's even possible to love someone as much as you love them. You're still trying to figure out how to be a parent and what you did to deserve to be so lucky. Everything is just so shiny and new. And it's like a drug to me because, for that hour that I get to be a part of their lives (or three or four for newborns), it takes me right back. Nostalgia City. It's such a beautiful thing to witness. And this family definitely gave me a good dose - of both nostalgia and beauty.
Little Miss Sloane was full of smiles and had so much fun being cuddled and tickled by her mommy and daddy. I was really looking forward to her excitement when it was time for the cake, but one taste of that gorgeous cake and she was all business! Some babies need encouragement to dig in there - not this one ;) She had herself a toe-curling, face-stuffing good ol' time. . .
Enjoy your sneak peek, H Family!
