And a baby makes four | Ridgewood studio newborn photo session

These guys may look familiar to you – this is not their first appearance on this blog.  I first met them when Mom was pregnant with their first girl – M. about 5 years ago and we’ve had many many many sessions together since then.  I’ve had the privilege  of documenting M. change from a newborn to a baby to a precocious toddler to a funny little girl.  I love her and she loves me back – she wants to have dinner with me and my family, is excited to come to see me at the studio, gets sad when she misses me at their viewing and ordering sessions.  She makes me laugh every single time I see her!

But this post is not about M. it is about her little sister!  I was beyond thrilled when I found out these guys were expecting and even more thrilled when I found out that it was another girl – having two daughters myself and having a sister makes me a bit partial to families with two daughters:)   Little sister, Meredith, was as perfect and beautiful as her big sister was at this age!  For the first few minutes when I saw her I could not do anything other that awww and ohhhhh over her:)

We chose to do this combo newborn/family photo session at my Ridgewood studio.  Big sister M. and her Dad were coming to the studio a bit later in the session to give me time to capture images of the latest addition all by herself.  At the beginning of the session she was hungry (she IS a growing baby after all!) so while her Mom was nursing we had a chance to catch up.  And once she was fed, changed and happy (I always built in time in my newborn sessions for all these activities) we started with the session.  We got some open-eyed shots – how beautiful are these baby blues?!

and of course we got plenty of cuddly sleepy newborn images so many parents want and love:

I always capture details shots of babies – delicate little fingers and toes, wispy eye lashes, beautiful lips:

and when the Dad came to the studio we got some pictures of the parents together with their new bundle of joy:

of course there were pictures of Mom with baby Meredith:

and Dad with the brand new baby:

Being a mom of two girls I just had to capture this beautiful Mom with her daughters:

and I loved capturing the interactions between these girls – Meredith was just a bit over two weeks old at the time of the session but she was incredibly aware with great eye contact!  I cannot wait to capture the relationships and love between these two sisters as they grow up together.

and of course there were plenty of pictures of these guys together as a family of four!

If you are expecting and would like to have a newborn family photo session my Ridgewood photography studio is a perfect plan to do it!
