This session was so special for me, as a newborn photographer! I first met the Hawkins in 2021 when they had their son. During that time, it was the start of when I was getting back in the studio and had specific covid protocols set in place. The moms/families that trusted me so much during this time with my covid protocols really meant a lot to me and made each and every one of them have a special place in my heart. And the Hawkins were one of those families! They still came in for their son’s newborn session so having them back in the studio this year was extra special.
This time, they came in to see me when Naomi was 2 weeks old. Naomi is just the cutest kid ever! Her brother’s session a year prior was fun as well, and we got so many great photos from both sessions. When I have families come back for younger siblings, I always try to recreate some of the shots made at the older siblings newborn sessions so they can compare the two kids in similar settings at a similar age. It’s just so fun to look at both of them together like that! But, of course, I made sure the session was also a unique look specifically for Naomi!
The session was just a lot of fun and so awesome! Baby Naomi was sleeping when they arrived, so I went immediately into prop shots and was able to get some great photos there. Then I got her smiling and she had the cutest smile! We moved onto family photos, and I was able to get some beautiful photos of Naomi with her mom and dad. Then we went onto more props and from there, we ended the session on the bean bag.
Naomi was so squishy and chunky! She was ten pounds! It only made her more adorable! I loved the props and the family shots, and all around it was a great session! I got everything I wanted and I know I was able to capture those special pictures for the Hawkins family once again.
