Laylah Rose.

There's something about newborn sessions that I enjoy so very much. This shoot was yet another reason why-- a sweet little girl with big brown eyes.

This shoot was an early Christmas gift for Laylah's mom, and it was such a privilege to be a part of something so memorable. Laylah came from out of state to see me, and though it was technically a 'newborn session' I had to grab some of her family interacting with her. I love doing that when my clients don't really notice that I'm shooting-- I can grab those natural moments in between that teach us so much about ourselves.

And this next image explains a lot. I love it. See the way she looks at her Daddy?






Those eyes!






I had to show off her eyelashes:



Daddy's dog tags:


Love this one of Mommy and Laylah's hands:





Doesn't she just look so snuggled here?-


Grandpa even got in some of the images. Laylah thoroughly enjoyed this:


Isn't this one so sweet? She gave this adorable grin just as her mom leaned down to give her a little smooch:


I think the sock fuzz in between her toes is just adorable here:


To Laylah and the 'G' family:

Thanks for making the trip to come and see me! I enjoyed working with all of you... All the best as you watch your beautiful daughter grow! (And enjoy your early Christmas gift, Renee!)

A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
