Colette: Newborn // Germantown, MD Newborn Photographer

Sweet, darling Colette. She is the third child of our dear friends Natalie and Mike. I photographed their wedding over five years ago now (!!!!). We couldn't be happier for them! Here are a few snaps from her session at six days old.

CONNOR: NEWBORN

Excited to share a few photos from this little O's fan! Connor was eight days old for his newborn session. Such a scrumptious smile!

A FATHER'S FIRST SPRING

Most of y'all who know me and the hubs personally know that The Avett Brothers is our favorite band. Ever since I heard their song, "A Father's First Spring," I thought it was a perfect reflection of our pregnancy and impending journey of parenthood. The Bros are brilliant songwriters. Lyrics like "I have been homesick for you since we met" and "When I'm in the sweet daughter's eye/My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time/There's no part of it left to give" are why I fall in love with their music over and over again. It's a beautiful song - listen to one of my favorite versions HERE. I digress. I tried to get this post up yesterday to wish a very happy first Father's Day to my main squeeze, but with an infant, you can't really set your own schedule. ; ) Happy "Father's First Spring" to my husband; seeing you care for our little girl with patience and grace lights up my world. We're both so lucky.

This first photo is from the first night in the hospital, and it melts my heart.

BROOKLYN CHARLIE

"Sometimes the littlest things take up the most room in our hearts." -- Winnie the Pooh Today, our little girl is one month old. I'm still on maternity leave, but I wanted to take a second (literally that's all I have these days, as she sleeps on my chest in her carrier) to post her birth announcement. I took this photo of her when she was seven days old. There will be many more photos and words to share at a later date when we discover our rhythm! Until then, here's our little chunk babe. The hubs and I are SO proud and SO in love. : )

MAX: BABY

Over the holidays, I got a hot second to visit with my cousin in North Carolina and meet her new baby boy, Max. He's the sweetest. I couldn't help myself from sharing a frame! I think he was around 23 days old. : )
