You may remember their maternity session?
Amanda (our associate photographer) and I trekked up the road to Kentucky to journal the the welcoming of Sebastian a few weeks ago.
We were so excited that the grandparents travelled in country to also welcome this precious little fella.
If you are a mom, you'll be able to relate with this all too well...the first few weeks at home can be trying. You haven't quite found your rhythm yet.
baby sleeps
baby poops
baby eats
baby cries
repeat.
I wish it were possible to always schedule during the "baby sleeps" portion of that cycle, but that's just not reality as early in life as we like to shoot. SO! This session is chocked full of the reality of welcoming a newborn into the family.
There is nothing I love more (photographically speaking) than images that are a true depiction of a moment in a family's journey. This says *that* to me.

There were so many incredible images from this session it was hard to select what to showcase here. The whole session from start to finish was one fun expression after the other. Looking through his images from the shoot, I laughed and laughed and laughed.....umm...out loud. It was quite disruptive to my staff. Such a funny boy! I enjoyed the giggles.
You can see his newborn session here if you'd like.
And what is it again that makes me want to chew on those little baby cheeks? Oooh. Love those chunky little parts. Love em. Love em. Love em.

This lady has her ducks in a row. Literally.
I wish you could witness what I have been so fortunate to watch.
5 children is no easy task. Heck, I freak out sometimes with just 2! These children love each other so much, they play, they climb trees, they dote on their new little brother, they are all drop dead gorgeous and they are...
so
much
fun
to
watch!
I love getting to "see" the reality of family life.
The images below are all of my very, very favorites from the session. I LOVE the 2nd image, the one of the mom and dad. Can you just "feel" their love? OOOOH! So inspiring and so amazing. Love the rest for different reasons...each individual child's picture is how I saw them and their spirits.
Getting to watch kids grow up and having the honor of documenting their childhood so they can relive "days past" has got to be the coolest job on the planet.

All these pictures are great! But I especially LOVE the last one. I come from a family with 5 kids......4 girls and the baby boy. And this picture completely reminds me of my childhood. The sibling fights, the 'poor' only boy, and the awesome friendships I now have as an adult with my siblings. I just wish my parents would have done a better job documenting our childhood. Great Pictures!!

Nerves are crazy with our first babies, aren't they? One of my very, very, very favorite images in this set is toward the end, it's the image of her anticipating and looking like, "oh dear...what in the world have I gotten myself into"? If I'm being really honest, I thought that very same thing for at least 6 months after my kids were born. I even asked my husband several times the first week they were home, if he thought the hospital would let us bring them back. Funny how those nerves sneak up on us.
Next time you see a new mom, pat her on the back and tell her what a great job she's doing. It's a tough job...but it's the single most rewarding job we could ever have.

I could just gobble her up! Looking at her is one thing, but to hear her talk is quite something different. She's just the most precious, smart, inquisitive, tiny adult I've encountered.
And her parents are cool, too! Can't wait to meet the new baby!!!!

(04.21.10 @ 02:33 PM)Tina, these are beautiful. Awesome as usual. I love the way you captured the excitement and the joy along with the exasperation and wonderment of "what do we do now?". Simply precious.
