Charlie really seemed like he was more interested in a mid-January birthday rather than an early-January birthday, because he hung on a quite a bit past his due date. But after a long labor, he finally made his anticipated arrival. Even still, when we met Charlie at three weeks old, he was still sooo tiny! He is definitely a normal weight, but the way he was baking, we were expecting a big boy!
Charlie was an actual rockstar for his first photoshoot. He had one diaper change and one singular cry (his little forehead wrinkles are the cutest!!) and the rest of the time he was sleepy and happy, even with a few outfit changes! He even gave us some little smiles! We were so surprised how quickly this session went!
We also must add that the family puppy thought this session was his own personal photoshoot, and we were here for it. Although it took him some time initially to warm up to a new baby in the house, this pup was so gentle with Charlie! We can see these two becoming the best of friends.
We have known Charlie’s mom and dad for many years: We have photographed them together as wedding guests, documented their engagement and their own wedding, and then back again as wedding guests! Continuing to share their family’s story through these photographs is amazing.
Emily & Russ, thank you for asking us to capture this incredible time in your lives. You guys made a really cute baby!!! Here are all of our favorites from your newborn session <3
