Two years ago (roughly) I did sessions for Kristen and Sara of their newborn baby girls.  This past weekend I returned to Philadelphia to do newborn sessions for them again.  It should be stated that Sara and Kristen don’t know each other at all and live about 30 miles or so apart and in different states.  It just so happens that both Sara and Kristen gave birth a few days early to boys.  Both weighing 8 lbs and 12 oz.  And named Luke.  Yes, both of them.  Same name, same weights, almost the same birth dates.  And both photographed by me 😉

First up today is Kristen’s Luke.  Utter perfection.  I lost approximately ten pounds during this session because I had the brilliant idea (since I had left my space heater in RI) to do the session on their screened in back porch.  Where it was 93 degrees.  Luke was very happy.  Me, well, let’s just say I had a really nice much needed shower when I got back to the hotel.  He did great though, and we also snuck in some pictures of big sis who I hadn’t seen since she was eight weeks old.  What a gorgeous gorgeous family these guys have made!

First, a before and after.  On the left, big sister’s newborn session.   And on the right, this past weekend with a new baby.  I wish I had set the shot up a little differently, but I realized after I got this that I had the similar one from before.

And from this weekend
