Y’all, this is one of my favorite sessions I have ever done. It was a dark and gloomy day, which made for this amazing moody light. Big sister was so fun, energetic but cooperative, and mom and dad were laid back and over the moon with their tiny little new boy. I loved getting these natural light newborn shots in the comfort of their hospital room. (Well, maybe hospital rooms aren’t THAT comfortable, but better than having to take baby into a studio!). I love the unposed, natural vibe of these sessions. And babies are just so pristine and perfect in their first hours. I literally have about 55 favorites from this session, but I’ve tried to narrow it down for you. Enjoy!
