After Charlotte was born, Kendall and William wanted their son Carter to meet Charlotte before the rest of the family did.  So, William went to get him and I remember his excitement as he came in the room and started asking about “baby Cha-watte!”  It was the sweetest and he couldn’t get enough of her!  Well, after a couple of weeks, some of the newness had worn off (for him at least!), but I hope he’s able to look back on these photos when he’s older and see how much he did love her and protect her from the beginning.

I don’t do newborn sessions often because I reserve them for my birth clients, but being invited into a family’s home to document their newest little addition is so sweet and wonderful!  And since I’ve been photographing births for a while and have been able to photograph the births of siblings now (so amazing!), I’m now getting to photograph these little families that have grown from 3 to 4 people and it’s so precious!

Enjoy some of my favorites from Charlotte’s newborn session… and don’t miss how beautiful her nursery is!

I love this one!

I love how Carter is all “wild and crazy big brother” and Charlotte is sleeping through all of it :-)

I tend towards a “lifestyle newborn session” every time because babies don’t sleep for me if I have a camera in hand…
so when they do, we take advantage!  And praise God for the miracle He’s given us :-)

Y’all.  This swaddle is the perfect swaddle for a newborn baby girl in the south!  Look at that bow and monogram! #SouthernPerfection :-)

Annnnd… this one’s my favorite.  So beautiful, Kendall!

He may look a little mischievous, but he was also excited to be “holding” his baby sister!
