They were a group of 11, but very cooperative and enjoyable to work with. The weather was very cold and damp, so we had stay on dry ground, but it all worked out. Here are a few pages from their Session book.

One of our favorite portrait sessions is the Welcome to the World Portrait Session. Created around newborns and infants. The session is usually scheduled for a Saturday or Sunday Morning on mom and dads bed. Even though the session is primarily for the baby, the entire family is incorporated into the session.

Here’s a Session from last fall we photographed for Erin and Andres and their family:
