I am happy to share this newborn session I did last week. I have been photographing this precious family since their second born was a newborn . I first photographed his baptism and have done several family sessions . I did a Christmas session last December and little did mom know she was already growing baby Nicholas. Though they did not know his gender until his home water birth. 

I also did her maternity session and I had a feeling she was carrying a boy! 

For their newborn session I did a combination of some posed and some lifestyle . But it was mostly a lifestyle session since Nicholas whom was just 8 days old needed to nurse a lot and was not a sleeping baby . 

I will also be photographing his baptism in a few weeks.

This was around Christmas 2016 their family session and though she did not know it then , there was a baby growing inside her. 

We tried a few posed but he just did not enjoy being out of mom's arms , so being a attachment parenting family , most photos were in arms. 

At mom's request I tried to mimic a few image styles she had previously when her others were newborns. Mom was very pleased with the result.  

This couple is so loving. I just adore them
