Spunky and Sweet Home Newborn Session | Ann Arbor
This home newborn session was so dreamy, energetic, and adorable! The Donakey family are just as kind as they look! I always love hearing how babies make their grand entrance and I’m so glad this time was all the right things. The right timing (hello Michigan Christmas weather advisory), the right circumstances, the right nurses, everything. Anyone who has a December baby deserves nothing less than the best because there is A LOT going on! Newborn sessions are so special – watching everyone swoon over something so beautiful and tiny. Don’t you love how sneezes or wiggles become the most novel “come and see” moments just because they’re demonstrated by someone so new? Everything is a wonder.
Spunky and Sweet Home Newborn Session | Ann Arbor
We started this session off in all the right ways. We had some amazing toddler energy playing hide and seek, marshmallows for bribery (WHY have I never thought of this?! No fearing chocolate stains), and the money shot family picture within the first few minutes. Way to go, guys!
Reid – most patient dad ever. I don’t say that lightly because I have seen my own husband lose his mind and then vow to never do family pictures again. Huge props to the dad of the year over here! I loved chatting with Cass while we were waiting for sweet Collins to eat and sleep again. Such an amazing woman, mom, and example! So grateful I got to hear her story – it’s truly inspiring.
Titan was the champion of the day – he was so good for so long! It’s not easy being the big brother and having to listen for so long, but he was seriously a rock star. Lucy, I could kiss her for giving us such fun moments and some smiles! Those are triumphant moments for me when you get the shot you want, but better because it has all the personality too. Honest – they’re my favorites!
And Collins, oh my goodness, so perfect. She has such a beautiful, petite little face and was so good at opening her little hands up for me. She can also sleep through anything! We moved her so many times, unwrapped and wrapped her up, had bouncing going on all around and she was a dream.
Donakey Family, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these beautiful moments for you! Your family is so sweet, and it was great getting to know you guys better. Can’t wait to see where life takes you and all the exciting things you get to do with your fun family!
Enjoy this little peek into this sweet newborn session!
