Sweet Baby G | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

I love meeting new families when I go to newborn sessions – and I don’t mean new clients, but rather new *families*.  It is one thing when you get married because you become an official “couple”.  But when you have your first baby, when you bring that little tiny being home with you, you have all of a sudden magically transformed from a couple into a family.   It’s especially awesome when I am chatting with the parents and I find out something like I did about baby G’s mom and dad – they’ve been together since mom was a freshman in high school!  It gets me all sappy emotional and happy inside when I meet couples like them because it’s REALLY a special turning point to grow from two to three after all those years.  Now I had already been looking forward to baby G’s birth for quite a while before he got here.  The reason?  He was a surprise gender baby!  I so rarely have that nowadays, it was really something different to wait for the excited email from my client, not only to tell me they had had the baby but whether it was a boy or a girl!  In this case it was a gorgeous, healthy baby boy.   So off I went for his newborn session this past Wednesday and oh what a great time I had!   Not only did I absolutely adore mom and dad (SO fun and those personalities you just click with within five minutes) but at ten days old, baby G was an amazing little sleeper and did a great job throughout.   A few personal favorite notes about these – newborn hands are difficult to shoot because they usually like to keep them in fists and close to their heads.  But in this session I got one of my favorite hand shots EVER.  And then the last shot — we did a photo with big fur brother and sister Brody and Daisy – Daisy was totally listening to her owners and holding the pose.  But Brody wanted some extra kisses while he was near the new baby and I kinda love it.  😉  

Mom and dad it was so great to finally meet you guys!   G is just adorable and perfect.  🙂
