You may remember this family from their previous maternity and newborn sessions – first baby belly, first baby, waiting for little sister, and sweet baby L.

One of the best parts of doing all of this is seeing a family grow and blessed with such beautiful babies. So, when my cousin told me they were expecting again, I was thrilled! Three beautiful babies in three years. So exciting! But wait, there was more!! Not three, but FOUR! They had twins! And even better, they had two beautiful cousins for my children on my daughter’s 5th birthday. A great day for our family!

A few weeks ago, my friends came down for a visit and we headed over to Princeton to shoot their last family pictures before their sweet baby arrived. At 10 days new, I headed up to CT to meet sweet baby B. Fortunately, I headed up on an early Sunday morning because although I had plans to avoid the George Washington Bridge, I was thinking about different shots and missed my route. Thankfully, there was no traffic on the bridge (a rarity!) and I made record time up there, despite the rain. And what a treat after the drive to hold this sweet baby boy! I wish I could have stayed longer! I miss you all!

This sweet 10-day-old newborn already has a passport! Her family is moving out of the country and I was honored to capture these sweet moments before they leave. Her parents were so calm and didn’t worry when she was crying as I was trying to get her to sleep or trying to get her posed. Her dad said the sweetest thing – “We know she’s in good hands.” I will miss this sweet baby girl. I may have to make an international visit to take pictures of her again in the future!

I have been taking portraits of Miss A since she was 8 months old. It has been wonderful watching her grow into the beautiful little girl she is. Now she has a baby brother and she is so sweet with him. I cannot wait to see him grow and capture their relationship!

Since big brother was sick when we did C’s initial newborn session, the family came back a week later to do some sibling and family shots. C was 17 days old when we were able to schedule another session. He was definitely more awake and more alert, but for family shots, it’s not as critical that he was sleeping. We got some great eye contact and very sweet shots.

So sweet…

Love that their arms are in the same position (we didn’t do that.)

He’ll never fit in the palm of his dad’s hand like this again…

And finally, he sleeps.
