It’s no secret I love a laid-back lifestyle newborn session, but it’s extra special to me when I haven’t met the family before. Paige is a new client here in the Dallas area and I enjoyed getting to meet her little family! Her in-laws were there to help with baby Arthur and they made me feel so welcome, too.

Paige was worried that Arthur’s flaky skin would show up in photos - and it does - but I assured her, you’ll want to remember this. You’ll want to remember his newborn skin so dry and flaky (it’ll never be cute again after this age!), the flyaway hairs at the top of your head thanks to pregnancy hormones, and yes, even the meltdowns your brand new baby is pretty prone to having. We captured it all, because those things are the reality of life with a newborn. The sleeping and smiling and parents adoring their new baby are a must, of course, but I think it’s important to include and hold on to the “imperfect” photos, too.

Paige and Colin are wonderful parents and great partners to each other - their little guy is going to grow up with an awesome support system!
