When Rhonda called the studio back in December to find out if I had availability for her brand new baby, I was pleased to inform her that we could have her in that week. Rhonda asked if we could focus more on family shots - and my answer was yes. I will always customize newborn sessions for my clients if they prefer no or few solo newborn images and want to focus on siblings and family. We also discussed the best colors and tones for her husband and older son to wear, and Rhonda elected to borrow from the studio wardrobe. She was so glad she didn't have to worry about going shopping for something. When they all arrived at the studio for their session, we set straight to work. I was so impressed with big brother Charles... you'll find a picture of him on the list of "World's Best Big Brothers". He was so kind and gentle with his baby brother. The entire family was just absolutely beautiful and so much fun to photograph.
We started the session with Charles and Cameron. Charles was a little bit nervous because he wasn't sure what he had to do. He was thrilled when I told him I just wanted him to hold his baby brother and look at him, and confidently assured me that he could definitely do that. My newborn sessions involving siblings are fun, and zero pressure. I don't want your child to feel stressed or pressured to "perform". I want to capture them as they naturally are. When you have younger toddler siblings, bribes are sometimes necessary but most of the time when you have siblings aged 4 and up, they LOVE participating in the session and no bribing is necessary! I'm excited to share some of the images from this session below - I often do not have time to blog sessions right after they happen due to my busy studio schedule, but I often post images to my Instagram.
Aren't they just the sweetest duo? This won't be the last of their snuggles over the years to come. Cameron is so lucky to have such an awesome big brother to show him the ropes.
Mom then stepped in for some mother and son images. I just love how happy they were during their session and how it was captured so beautifully for them to always have and look back on.
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. I can't wait to meet you!
