7 day old baby boy Levi / Chesapeake Newborn Photographer

April 12, 2014

I had so much fun at this adorable little guy's newborn session.  He came to my studio at just 7 days old and was a perfect little model.  His sweet little cheeks and cute red hair were so much fun to capture.  His big brother was the life of the party.  

We started off the session by picking out outfits, hats, and props.  Then we moved into the nice and cozy heated studio to do some sibling shots.  Big brother Logan was excited to be there and it showed.  The out-takes were hilarious.  I'm surprised we got one still shot of him.  I think my cheeks hurt from laughing so much.  He did a great job and was full of life for a little 2 year old big brother.

Don't you just love their matching shirts!  So cute!

I even got to sneak in some pictures of just Big brother.  This is a really big step in his life and he deserves some spotlight too.  

Big brother got to relax after his part was done and go play with all the toys in the next room.  Mama hung out with us for a little while to see her new baby boy shine in the spotlight.  

After seeing how awesome he was doing, mama went to relax herself by enjoying her complimentary 60 minute massage that comes with a newborn session with Journey Through Life Photography.

He had the cutest furrowed brow expression.

10 day old Baby Ethan / Virginia Beach Newborn Photographer

April 2, 2014

What a treat it was to photograph this sweet 10 day old baby boy.  His big "brother" Gunner greeted me at the door and stayed by my side through most of the session.  I think he wanted to keep an eye on this strange lady who was photographing his little brother.  Ethan was definitely used to having him around as he never startled when Gunner would bark.  Me, on the other hand, jumped every time.  :-)

We started our session with some family photos by the window.  Gunner did a great job striking a pose for the camera.  Ethan took a small break to fill his belly and then we continued with some more snuggle shots.  Ethan was ready to snooze with his little belly full.  A nice warm house and a full belly were a perfect combination for a peaceful newborn portrait session.  

He snuggled right on in the bean bag like it was a big comfy recliner on a rainy day.  I switched hats, posed hands, played with his feet without even a flinch from him.  Gunner even snuck in a few snifs and kisses.  He was out and let me pose him without any resistance.  I love when babies are this relaxed.  It makes for such peaceful photographs that will forever be treasured memories.  Mama also got to enjoy her complimentary 60 minute massage that came with her newborn session.
