The newborn days.. a sweet, dare I say, hectic, whirlwind of diapers, feedings, laundry, bottle washing and more diapers.. oh and sleep deprivation! But when that baby snuggles on your chest and falls asleep, ALL is right in the world.. and the hard work and exhaustion is more than worth it. These first few weeks are a huge adjustment period for most parents as they navigate the waters of taking care of their newest addition.

I was so honored that this family welcomed me into their home to document a little piece of these first few weeks.. Lifestyle newborn sessions are a new thing for me and I absolutely love everything about them! There is something very special about capturing a family in their natural setting. The pictures hold that much more value because of the past, present, and future memories that also take place in the backgrounds of these images.

Looking at the pictures and putting their gallery together this week was so exciting. I may have put my hands on my cheeks a few times with my jaw dropped because I just could not handle all the cuteness and emotions going on in the pictures!
