Sally and I have a very special bond for quite a few reasons. The first reason is that I was there when she was born. I photographed her grand entrance in to this world. I was the very first person to take her picture! So it was no surprise to me when I arrived at Sally’s house on her 2 week birthday to take her newborn photographs, that she would be on her best behavior and we’d have another couple of milestones that I could document while I was there!
Check out the progression of this heart-melting smile!! What I love the most about this though is that there are 2 smiles here. Sally’s and her mommy’s. Look at the mother’s cheeks as Sally’s face lights up. This is a 10×20 storyboard, and I would have this printed on a matboard and displayed on a desktop easel. The words and borders are customizable. Too cute!
When I arrived, Sally’s belly looked like this -
But toward the end of our session, it looked like this! Yep, her cord fell off during our session.
She slept like a little angel too. I love her lips!
It looks like she’s smiling at her mommy here! I think she’s advanced in the smiling department for a newborn…
Even Daddy got a grin!
I love this picture of Sally and her grandmother, Sally. Actually both of her grandmothers are named Sally!
I will be taking pictures of this sweet little baby for the next year. Her parents have booked 3, 6, 9 month and 1 year sessions with me. I’m thrilled I get to capture her changes for the first year of her life. They grow so fast!

I only book one birth session a month, so if you are interested in having your birth experience documented, please contact me as soon as you can!
