{ Chris, Emma, Sam }

One thing I love about my job is that I get to know so many wonderful families along the way. Photographing Sam as a newborn baby and again at age 1 is a perfect example. It's wonderful to see how the whole family has grown!

Thanks for the visit, it was so great to see you all!

 

Baby Sam | Portrait

It never really goes as planned, especially when babies and children are involved. We can plan outfits and shots we want to take, but ultimately, if they are not in the mood... well, it's just not going to happen.

Sam was 10 days old for this shoot, and overall, he did a really good job. Most of my favorites are when he's not being the 'perfect baby'. Chris and Emma's golden retriever was wonderful with the new addition to the family, but whenever Sam cried, Reese got nervous and licked Sam's face and hands to calm him... I have a feeling Reese will fast become Sam's best friend.

Sam wasn't so happy in this moment...

Notice the concern on Reese's face? He was so adorable, he just wanted to help!
