I last worked with Chris and Lisa for their field maternity session, which can be viewed by clicking here. I was so excited when they let me know that baby Christian had arrived!

Christian was the most adorable baby. He had the most delicate little features and the cutest head of hair that stuck up all over. I love when baby hair sticks up because it's so unique to each individual baby, and they will only look like this for a short time. Lisa let me know that she wanted mostly white for Christian's portraits. I love all white setups, and primarily use white, so I was more than happy to oblige. Macro images of all of his little details (lips, fingers, toes, etc) were important to Chris, and I assured him that I always take these during every session.

After Christian's solo portraits were finished, we moved on to the family portion. Lisa chose a dress from the studio wardrobe to wear, and Chris wore the same shirt of his that he'd worn for their maternity session. We took our time and they enjoyed being together as a family and holding and loving their new son. Christian decided to give us a few smiles as well during his session, and he sure does have the cutest little smile!

This gallery shows just a few of the images from their final gallery. Chris and Lisa emailed me a few weeks after their move to NY state and attached a photo of their nursery so that I could see it. I was touched to see two two matted images from the newborn session hanging on the wall above his crib.

Here are just a few of my favorite images from Christian's newborn session!

If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Be sure to view this short 1.5 minute film to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!
