I firmly believe that when newborn sessions focus solely on the newborn, a big opportunity is lost: An opportunity to document the parents in a fragile and beautiful time of life.
The way new parents interact with each other, with their baby, with the world at large - this is a finite, precious era in their lives, and one that is worth preserving through lifestyle photography.
And when all that wonder and beauty is taking place in the lives of my dear cousins (and in the life of their extremely territorial cat)... well, my camera and I just have a little too much fun.
Welcome to the world, Matthew!
