I do so love newborn sessions at home. Only wish all homes had such great lighting!
And how awesome is it that my client’s mother kept some of her baby clothes?! Little girl is wearing her mother’s onsie, in the bottom image, from when her mother was a baby.
Not once during pregnancy did I think or imagine a child with curly hair. In fact, it wasn’t until her first bath at home that they become known. All my life I have had very fine, straight, and oily hair. I’ve had 3 perms and 1 body wave in my lifetime and none of them last longer than a couple of months. What did I know about dry, curly, ringlet type hair?!?!
Quite a bit of money has been spent in search of some awesome products, but I always come back to Beautiful Curls Leave-In Conditioner for wavy to curly hair that I found at Whole Foods. I have also learned that it is best to not wash dry, curly hair every day. Something very foreign to me, as I sometimes could use two washings of my own hair in the summer time when it gets really oily. But Maya’s hair does really well washing every other day in the summer and, depending on activity, every two days during the winter months.
Each morning I always spray down her hair with water and add the leave-in conditioner for some super fabulous curls!
I knew I was going to love this images as I was taking them. I just didn’t know how much I’d love them until I saw them on the computer screen.
The most wonderful note from the wife and mother,
“And that would perfectly sum up how they are every day!! Adore this.”
Three. Such a fun age with my clients. I’m about to embark on that year myself with my daughter and really looking forward to it. This guy cracked me up with his showing of, “Can you give your sister a kiss?” Love him! Siblings can be a riot to photograph.
Also super excited to be able to use the flooring again that’s found in my client’s house. The last time I used it was for the big brother’s infant session just days after they laid it down. So gorgeous in person and photographs well. Add adorable one year old girl in tutu and jean jacket and you really can’t go wrong. 
I can’t believe I forgot to post this perfect little girl and her gorgeous red hair! I hope she likes it when she gets older. Looking forward to watching her grow up with her Baby Year Plan.
