Newborn Brother | Wait for it…

A session share from my time with baby E. and his family at their home.  I agree with his Mom that he has some gorgeous, squishy baby lips.  They will soon be a gallery wrapped canvas on her wall. 🙂  Once I knew he was here, I had to know about his hair.  You will have to wait for why.  I will say now that when I had their session his hair was freshly washed and he had a perfectly coiffed do.  My mother saw these images on my computer and even commented “that baby has a nice head of hair.”  My babies were bald so I can appreciate it!

Baby E. and I fell in love and he did not want to sleep for me so that we could stare at each other. Ha! Even so, he was calm and so good (and I am patient!).  It gave us a good chance to shoot more lifestyle pictures while he was getting sleepy so he will always know how beautiful his Mom was when he was little and how crazy she was for him. I love favorite images on the wall and albums that show a fuller story and document more moments for a newborn.  I always show more images for newborn sessions for this reason.

And I have to mention that Baby E. has not one but two big brothers.  Doesn’t that give you a little insight into his world and what it must be like?  Are all third babies completely easygoing and go-with-the-flow because they have to be? I have a third with two big brothers and I guess you can’t help but be a little tougher in that situation!

I love the classic look of black and white for these shots. None of these boys will ever be this little ever again and so this is priceless to me.  Big Brother was so helpful and Middle brother had toy knives in his hand.  It was perfect – just like what this stage of life is really like.

As much as I normally love black and white newborn images, it is just hard to not go color with this family.  How can you hide these two gorgeous heads of red hair?  Not to mention the stunning blue eyes… No matter how hard they play every hair seems to wave and fall perfectly back in place.  I can’t wait to watch these three boys grow up together.  Their personalities are so sweet and all so very different – it is fun to be around them all.
