I don’t even have words to describe the sessions I had with this family. Daddy is truly gentle, soft spoken yet strong and protective. Mom is the sweetest, and their son is a breath of fresh air. He is so into the camera, smiling, being happy, playing and just being overall wonderful! He listens to his parents so well, and they are just a gentle, loving family. I photographed Mom and Dad’s engagement at a beautiful “castle” to say the least. It’s such a blessing to eventually hear that they had always planned on me doing their maternity and newborn sessions when the that time came in their life. Gasp! What a honor. I mean seriously….it just is. I’m actually finishing up the sessions tonight, so this isn’t too much of a sneak peek but I wanted to share them with you all here.

And then last but not least – TA DA! They welcomed a precious and beautiful baby girl into their lives. Ohhh…..she was so perfect. She never cried. No joke. No like. This baby slept like a dream and never cried. I think I remember hearing noises or what I think may have been the start of “telling us a few things”, but it stopped just as soon as it started. And to be honest, if I went potty on myself, I wouldn’t have kept it to myself either. Giggle.

I just have to share this family and their beautiful new baby boy. Not only are they a beautiful family, but they are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They were so wonderful to work with and hang out with. They are so in love with both each other and their new son. It was a fantastic time. Their baby boy was SO PERFECT. He slept like an angel. He’s as beautiful as can be and the happiness on Mom and Dad’s face glows. It’s undeniable. Mom has the sweetest voice, too. Yes, I’m bringing that up because she has the sweetest voice to go with the sweetest Mom.

Here are a few of my favorites from her maternity and newborn session. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Isn’t Mom beautiful! And tell me you can’t see the love and JOY in these!  I hope you two are happy with your sessions.

I love this one!!

And now to meet the Lil’ Guy!

In the loving arms of his Daddy.

Thank you for allowing me to share in this wonderful time of your lives.

I had the most fun at this session hence the title of my blog post. This family is amazing! Mom and Dad are SOOOO in love (and no it’s not because they just came home from their honeymoon either) and had a beautiful son! They were so happy, so excited, and so relaxed! I really just had a great time, and it actually didn’t feel like that much work either (other than setting up and taking things down). It was a blast!  Let me just say that Mom looked GREAT. She gave birth two weeks later I believe. Yes….she’s 38/39 weeks in these! Can you believe it!? I would have looked like a “swollen cow” by that point! Okay…swollen cow is not a nice way to put things, but trust me, I had serious water retention when pregnant with my first. I was unrecognizable in my pictures that were taken before, during and after the birth of my first son.

I’m even going to share A FEW of your daughter from her session. I cannot wait to share more because this little peanut (and I do mean little) was SOOOOOOO GGOOOOODDD for me! Mom and Dad had their fireplace going and their own small space heater already set up and blowing air. I was hot but I was SO HAPPY. I believe that is one reason why she slept the entire time with only a few breaks for feeding and then back to sleep she went. I could practically do whatever I wanted with her. I love her! I want to see her again already!

So here you are Merges Family!

Until next time….. Good night.

This couple was so perfect this day. They were beautiful (and handsome, of course) and just beaming with excitement and happiness. And, with that, I am also so happy and enjoy those sessions so much. I had a great time. I cannot wait to see their new baby. I am thinking he/she will look like Dad. We’ll have to wait and see. I had a recent newborn look just like her Daddy when I thought she’d definitely look more like Mom. It’s a fun thing for me to see who newborns look more like. I’ve always been this way regardless of it being a “quirk” of mine. We had ample room with gorgeous studio and ambient light. They were exceptionally easy to edit. She has no wrinkles, blemishes and just beautiful hair and skin. I also think she loves being pregnant and is SO excited about having her first child – as she should be.

I wanted to share a few from their session for you all to enjoy as well. I can’t wait to see you all again next month!!

Oh how I love this shot of her!!!

This image of the two of them is such a sweet moment and a beautiful one of the two of them!

Until next time, I hope that you all enjoy reading and will come back again soon!
