Let’s be real for a moment: newborn sessions can be a challenge. Many babies are feeling tired, hungry, and gassy, and we expect then to calm down for at least an hour of photos. These variables take quite a bit of skill and patience to combat…and even then, a sleepy baby is not always realistic—but you know what? I always leave these sessions feeling so warm inside. This mamma and I had so much fun getting to know each other between feeds and baby breaks. I secretly knew we’d get along, as her love for animal rescue is just as strong as her love for her new baby. Dad even made it home from work for a few— and we were able to wrap baby up in his old Oregon Ducks Jersey! And yes…I did balance his football on top of his newborn. Scroll through and try not to smile at the many sweet moments we captured at this newborn session.
