Charlotte | Newborn

I've photographed this girl in a wedding dress in the heat of summer and in a maternity dress (freezing our behinds off) in the middle of winter. We've shared a house, a dozen ten-hour road trips and countless clothes. I've watched her marry her best friend and chase her dreams.

But photographing her in her home, sunlight pouring in, a baby girl in her arms, watching her be a mom to Charlotte and sharing in a few of those moments - that takes the cake by far. Mama-hood looks so good on you, Laurney.

I've said it a million times before but I just cannot get enough of lifestyle newborn sessions. They're laid back, they're raw, real, no-fuss. Dogs are welcome, nakey babies in ruffly bloomers are welcome, and the authentic, natural moments we can capture just can't be beat. Charlotte Joy, you ARE a joy. Welcome to the world, sweet girl.
