I said this on my Facebook fan page and I’ll say it here too. I was nervous for this shoot. Stacy, from Stacy Sheppard Photography, referred this family to me. Normally, that’s not a big deal, but Stacy does beautiful newborn work and I have to admit newborns are not my specialty. I’ve gone back and forth in my business trying to figure out my style with newborns and I feel like I’m still searching.

Anywho, the reason I keep shooting newborns is because I fall in love with the families I meet. Amy, Anthony, Milo, and Clara are super sweet and they were so accommodating. I give new moms a ton of credit inviting me into their home days after giving birth. I love getting to chat with them about their experience too. Milo is still little himself! It took some coaxing to get him to come hang out with his new baby sister but this is where mom and dad are really important. They never lost their cool. They didn’t push it. They were patient and I think it paid off. I love these two shots. The first one because he is exploring this new person in his life. The second because they are making the same face! I didn’t notice it when I snapped it, but I think it’s adorable.

Miss Clara made me work for these sleepy shots but it was soooo worth it. She’s look like a tiny angel!
