I first worked with Olive when she was pregnant with her first baby for her maternity, newborn, six and nine month milestones, and First Birthday sessions. I still remember getting her text one freezing cold February morning letting me know her baby had arrived and that it was a boy! I remember it so well because I let out a big "whoop!" and my husband thought I had lost my mind. I can't help it - I get so excited for my clients!
When she texted to let me know she was expecting her second baby and also waiting to find out, I was overjoyed for her family. She and her husband are such wonderful parents, and Olive LOVES being a mom. They're always fun to spend time with, and I couldn't wait to photograph them again. We scheduled their maternity session at the park and then I sat back and waited for the text. It came...and it was ANOTHER boy and they named him Chandler. We scheduled her newborn session to take place at 10 days, but the day before the session was to take place, Olive started having some postpartum complications that required some attention. Sometimes this happens and you just can't plan for it. We pushed out the session another week to ensure that Olive would be 100%. She was so worried that Chandler would be too big for newborn images, but as you can see (click here), that was not the case at all. It's also fun to look back at Chandler's newborn images to see the progression of his absolutely amazing hair!
Olive brought Chandler in for his six month session and picked a new dress from the studio wardrobe. She had him wear an outfit she brought with her and that had belonged to big brother. Six month sessions are so much fun, and a lot of times moms will opt to make it more focused on their baby with some mommy and me and let dad off the hook. However you want to structure it is completely up to you!
We had so much fun during their session - I seriously cannot get over his curls or his huge brown eyes. I absolutely adore every image taken from their session, but I'm sharing just a few below! Enjoy the Chandler cuteness!
