Baby Arabella – you’re quite the little girl already. You’ve mastered snuggling (which I definitely enjoyed my fair share of). Your parents and pup-pal Pepe is obviously already under your spell. And those eyes. I just cannot wait to see what this life holds for you.

Welcome to the world, baby girl.

just the sweetest.

so peaceful.

i know, i know, newborns have lungs (trust me, i remember) but they also have this sense of peacefulness that somewhere along the way fades.

and this is why i love lifestyle newborn sessions.

little houdini snuck those hands out of the swaddle, but cuddles them so cute.

i’ve been photographing charlie and lauren for years now, but the image on the left could be my favorite of them to date.

lauren – you were meant to be a mom.

the look of pride. i just love it.

she’s already grinning!
