And the award for the happiest baby ever goes to... ๐Ÿ† In all seriousness, this little munchkin came in for her sitter milestone session and smiled like this, or bigger (!), for every. single. image. Wild levels of happy!

We call them "newborn lifestyle" sessions, but we should probably call them "big sibling reveal" sessions because 9 times out of 10, the big sib steals the show in the most adorable ways!

It's rare that I can squeeze in a last minute newborn session booking, but the stars aligned and mama reserved her session when she thought she still had a week or two to go....and then promptly went into labor! Happy that I got to photograph this chunk of love!

Oooops! Back to my bad habit of forgetting to post for a week. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ Which really only matters because of sooo many cutie babies that I have to share, including this newly minted one-year-old! ๐ŸŽˆ

One second you're watching your baby love every minute of their first birthday session, and the next you're registering them for kindergarten (seriously! my feed today was filled with so many of my past little clients at their KG registration ๐Ÿฅน!)

She came in, smiled the moment we began, and proceeded to give me first birthday session perfection. ๐ŸŽ‚

Captured so many adorable giggles and laughs during her session, but sometimes it's the serious moments that get me the most. ๐Ÿค

A few favs from this gal's personality portrait session to mark the big TWO! And if you've been thinking about doing one of these sessions...I have one spot left in both April and May when I can slide in another of these sweet minis!
