“Babies are such a nice way to start people.”

~ Don Herold

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and documenting beautiful Henley and her sweet parents on her 18th day of life.  Their shoot was my first newborn shoot and I can’t thank them enough for reaching out to me, welcoming me into their home, and for having such abundant light to work with!

Miss Henley is a gor-geous baby girl with perfect skin and the most kissable lips.  She’s just reaching that “I’m not sleeping all the time anymore” phase but still a far cry from the mobile, active runt that I have my hands full with at home.  It was incredible to witness the new love her first-time parents have for her  – the way they just stare at her and reach out to touch her sweet head in the middle of a shot just because they can.  I remember the feeling so well and it was such a sweet memory to be flooded with for the morning.

I’m so excited to share these images.  I hope they might remind you of your 18th day with your firstborn.
