Every so often I get messages from parents about whether or not their slightly older baby can still do a newborn session – and my answer is almost always yes, and at the very worst, the answer is we can certainly try!
For years I have gathered things and held onto them. Not so much in a hoarding way, more of a ‘I’m going to craft something with this later’ kind of way. For example, when we had to cut down the lilac tree in our backyard (it had died for some unknown reason), I had Dave cut me some long branches for a project I had in mind. About 7 or so years later, and the branches are now called sticks and they are still in a corner in my craft room. I mean, I will eventually get around to that project … maybe.
Sweet Baby Selim was just absolutely darling throughout his entire newborn session. Not only did he give me multiple teeny baby smiles during his time in front of the camera, but he was just so darn lovable!!
Whenever I post about a twin newborn session I inevitably get the same question asked of me: is it harder to do a twin session than a singleton session? And the quick answer is of, yes. But when the babies are as cute as Mia + Olivia and the parents are as sweet as Meaghan + Sammy, it is oh so very worth the extra effort!
Okay, I’m not going to lie, I was so incredibly nervous leading up to Josie’s newborn session, and honestly, it wasn’t even because of Josie. You see her Big Sister isn’t that big as these wonderfully sweet parents have two little ones under two. Which essentially meant I was going to be doing sibling photos with a very young older sibling, eek! But not only did Big Sister Avery rock her time in front of the camera (oh my goodness guys – she was utter perfection!!), but Baby Josie did wonderfully too!
