We treasure this first glimpse of you, 
the amazing miracle of life is true. 
So small, yet awesome in what you’ll become. 
Grow strong and healthy, our little one.

Just fourteen days new, little Eli was so easy to fall in love with when we he came to me for his newborn session. He was so tiny, had a full head of hair, and was as sweet as can be. He was born July 24th, weighing in at just 6 lbs and was 19 3/4″ long. It is always rewarding to capture a newborn session, because of the photos that result. The parents are always overjoyed to see their tiny baby forever captured in photos, with tiny fists and perfect lips…they will always be able to look back and remember this precious time. For Eli’s session, I went with neutral, streamlined colors and subtle textures. He was adorable enough all on his own, but isn’t that dark blue gorgeous? We added in a bucket prop at the end, and it was my favorite!

Are you interested in a newborn session for your little one? Are you an expectant grandparent? Perfect newborn portraits make a thoughtful and amazing gift for new parents! The best time to schedule is between birth and 14 days old to get those cute little poses and while they are in the sleepy stage.
