Newborn Fusion Film | Xavier

This sweet little boy’s newborn session and fusion film was such a pleasure to put together. I think I might have smiled the whole time I was editing these photos and video clips. There is nothing sweeter than those newborn coos and that face. But just as delightful was his big sister, who I had so much fun hanging out with. She loved holding and cuddling her little brother, but was just as happy to show off her gymnastic moves, jump on her bed, and model her very impressive braiding skills.

I always tell my clients that I love capturing the little in-between moments as much as the posed photos. All of the bottles and burping, those alert moments of your baby staring into your eyes and the moments where they are sleeping heavily on your chest, all of it goes by in a blur. Even video clips of my daughters crying as tiny little babies make my heart flutter when I view them now. There is so much that is new and exciting about welcoming a new baby into the family and it is such a joy to be able to preserve a little bit of that in photos and video for my clients.

If you are interested in chatting more about newborn photography for your family, I would love to hear from you!

One of the best things about my job is getting to watch families grow. I first photographed these guys when their oldest baby girl was brand new. I was enormously pregnant myself and Florence was born just a couple of months later. I also photographed them when big sister was a year old (one of my favorites) and then again when they welcomed baby number two. Every time I see them, it is both as if a ton has changed and no time has passed at all.

These kids have become so sweet and funny as they’ve grown from babies into little people in front of my camera. I loved spending time with them, playing and reading and talking, watching the way the two oldest have become friends and how taken big sister is with her newborn sister. Their newest addition seemed almost as if she’d always been there. She slept and snuggled and slept some more. It would be pretty fortunate if she stayed as laid back and sweet as she was during our session. She was an absolute doll.

These are some of my favorites from our time together. It was such an honor to document such a happy time for this lovely family.

Oh gosh this series! Big sisters pouty lip when her brother rejected her attempt at holding hands both cracks me up and breaks my heart. She is such a little sweetheart.

One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is that I always photograph families in their homes. So I am able to not only capture those sweet little newborn shots and the updated family photos, but also all of the in between moments. The photos that I like the best are always the ones that I didn’t pose. I love the genuine moments that I get a chance to document, and this session was full of them. Toddler hair was put into adorable little pigtails, books were read, babies were rocked to sleep and dinosaurs were brought to life (with very effective sound effects from big sister, I might add).

This was my third session with this family, the first being when big sister was brand new. It is always such a pleasure to spend time with them, and to document their family as it grows and changes. Looking at these photos I am reminded of why I love my job, and my clients, so very much.

If you are expecting a new little one and are interested in a lifestyle newborn photography session, or are just excited to plan a documentary family session for your family, contact me today. Let’s chat and plan something great!

And if you love this adorable little family and just can’t get enough of them, I have good news! I also shot video at this session, so look for their family fusion film in an upcoming post, along with a super exciting announcement!

A few months ago, I had the honor of photographing this sweet little guy while he was still brand new. He was so calm and mellow that the session went incredibly fast. I still felt like I’d just arrived when we were wrapping things up! I am not sure if he would have been entirely on board, but I could have photographed him and his beautiful family all day long. Love these photos so.
