Eden :: Connecticut Newborn Photography

I got to spend a quiet morning with Eden back in July and she was such a sleepy little sweetheart! She is the youngest of three and we took some quick family shots before Cora and Finn went to school. They were so good and gentle with her, it's always fun to see big siblings loving on their littles. 

Alise got to snuggle with Eden in peace and quiet, which I'm sure is just the best. They were in their own little world for a while and I just snapped away and it was like witnessing such a special moment of peace and comfort and love. 

And then I hogged Eden all to myself. 

Talk about a great morning. 

The more in-home newborn sessions I do, the more I love them. The parents get to sit back and have a cup of coffee or conk out or get a stretch to put their feet up and relax. Everything they need is within reach. Babies are around the comfortable smells and sounds of home. And for me, it's like getting to visit friends and hang out with their baby for a couple hours. We work on the baby's schedule and we don't wrap up until we're all happy. What's not to love? 

I'd love to share some of my favorites from my morning with Eden and her family.

If you or someone you know is expecting and looking for an in-home newborn session, contact me today! I am currently booking newborn sessions for weekday mornings now through February 2017. Any newborn shoot booked during the month of September will receive a free 8x8 Signature photo book of images!

Martin :: Connecticut Newborn Photography

Hello, sweet little Martin...

He entered the world at the end of June and it was an honor to photograph his sweet little face. He has a big sister named Claire who is very gentle and loving towards her new little brother. I know he'll be in good hands with her watching out for him!

Martin's mommy and daddy were one of my first engagement shoots back in 2010 at Yale, and I was so happy to hear from them now that they're living in Connecticut again. It is really amazing to be able to see people I've worked with years ago and see where they are in life and see how their family has changed and grown. It's a gift.

It also makes me very aware of the passage of time. These babies grow so quickly into people with personalities and opinions and funny things to say. Before you know it the baby days have passed. All you have is photos and memories to remember "those were the days". 

These tiny babies have no idea the joy and heartbreak they give us mamas. 

Before I start weeping on my keyboard, I'll share more of Martin. He was so calm and wonderful to photograph, even when he woke up he just kind of stared at me and was content to just hang out on my squishy newborn pillow. What a little love...
