Sophie brought her daughter in for her newborn portraits right before the holidays. In the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season at the studio it was so nice to slow things down a bit, but on lullaby music, diffuse lavender oils in the air and take the time to enjoy a brand new little life. This little baby girl was the sweetest baby. She cuddled right up in all the poses we wrapped her up in and was very cooperative when being held by her big sister.
I wanted to share a few of my favorite images from her session. I hope they brighten your day as much as they brightened mine to photograph.
Happy New Year!
