Adorable In-Home Ann Arbor Newborn Session

If you’re thinking the newborn stage flies by in a blink, imagine sweet Chloe here…she’s already a month old (cue tears)! We all weren’t exactly sure how she would be during the session just because one month olds aren’t as sleepy as newborns, but we have a major snuggly baby on our hands. Oh my goodness, she is so sweet. Once she was all wrapped up and bundled, she let us move her all over the place and only woke up enough for a few open-eyed photos before she went back to sleep. She was an absolute dream. We can’t forget about the adorable Miss Emma. Have you ever seen a cuter pair of sisters? They are so close in age and are going to be the best of friends, I’m sure of it. I’m happy to admit that I introduced Emma to her first ever marshmallow bribery. Once she had them she was sure to not let the supply stop coming and it cracks me up. We were never fast enough at getting them in her mouth. 😂

Francis and Billy, thank you! I had so much fun with both of you and your sweet girls! You have such a beautiful family and I have loved getting to know you. You are both so fun and kind and I felt instantly welcome. I can’t wait to see all the new experiences you have as a family and around more family when you get back. Ann Arbor will definitely miss you later this year!

Also, a huge thank you for letting me hold and snuggle Chloe. She was very impressionable in making me want another baby…or ten. 😂 💕

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!

I’ve been so excited for this session for so long! All the planning that goes into new babies and all the anticipation makes it all so exciting. Wondering what they’ll look like and the details associated with a new person you haven’t met yet. Will they be a good sleeper, how will mom feel, how will the kids take to a new baby, how will he do for the session, etc? So many questions you can’t really answer until your thrown in the mix of it all. Just going on a hope and a prayer that everything will go well.

I kid you not, this baby is a literal sleeping gift from heaven! Our session was almost 4 hours long and he slept through the entire thing! Woke up at the three and a half hour mark to eat, but was so calm and wonderful for every unwrapping, every little movement, changing positions, changing people – everything. He smiles in his sleep constantly and was such a good sleeper that we didn’t even have an opportunity for any yawning pictures. He is, for sure, very easy to love.

Favorites:

How in the world do you choose favorite photos from baby sessions? I honestly just love them all, but if I had to choose… I swoon over the three kids together. All tight and snuggly! It’s like a parent’s whole world in a single frame. Gentle and loving and perfect. As a close runner up…would be baby details. Their fingers and toes, tiny little ears, and sweet profiles. Gosh, I love them! I also adore little baby hands with their parents’ because it gives scale to such a tiny hands. The newborn stage is fleeting and I love things like that to keep it on pause.

Squires Family, I can’t get over your sweet kids and how much they love their new little baby brother. You make some B-E-A-UTIFUL kiddos! Super huge congratulations! Let me know if you ever need a stand in baby snuggler because I’m always available to come help out.
