💙 A Brotherly Welcome 💙

There are few things sweeter than watching a family grow — especially when I’ve had the honor of photographing them before. This session was extra special because the newborn I once had in my studio came back as a big sister, proudly bringing along her brand-new baby brother. It’s moments like this that make my heart swell. To see a little one I photographed as a baby now holding her sibling with so much love is a full-circle joy I’ll never forget.

From the moment they arrived, it was clear that this little girl adored her brother. She was so gentle, holding him close, kissing his tiny head, and smiling from ear to ear. That kind of sibling bond is something truly magical — pure, unfiltered love that shines through in every photo. Mom and dad looked on with such pride, their hearts full as they watched their children snuggle together.

For this session, I kept the posing simple, timeless, and all about connection. Baby boy looked absolutely perfect swaddled and nestled into the wooden heart — one of my favorite props because it symbolizes the love and bond that wraps around a new baby. We also added a teddy bear for one of his solo shots, giving a touch of cozy sweetness that always tugs at the heartstrings. Wrapped poses like these not only keep newborns comfortable but also highlight just how tiny and delicate they are in those first precious weeks.

The family portraits were some of my favorite moments. Watching big sister hold her brother close while mom and dad wrapped their arms around them was so moving. There’s something so powerful about capturing the first chapter of a sibling relationship — the protectiveness, the excitement, the pride. These are the memories families will treasure forever, long after the newborn stage has passed.

As a photographer, these sessions are why I do what I do. It’s not just about creating beautiful portraits, but about documenting love in its purest form. Babies grow so quickly, and before long, the newborn stage is just a blur of late nights and sweet cuddles. Having images that freeze these moments in time is a gift families can look back on for generations.

Congratulations to this amazing family on welcoming their baby boy! Seeing your daughter step into her new role as big sister was absolutely heartwarming, and I am so honored to have been able to capture this beautiful season in your lives. May these images always remind you of the love that surrounded you as you welcomed your newest little blessing.

With love,
