Then Comes Baby

Aloha!  Did you miss me?  Took a little vaca to Hawaii and meant to blog while I was there, but I got so caught up relaxing that I forgot

But, I am super excited to share this session with you!  I’ve known Erin and Jenner for several years now.  I shot Kirra’s newborn session and their family session last year.  Since then they’ve welcomed a new little man into their lives, Taj.  He’s a heart breaker already!

Jenner is a huge surfer so they spend a lot of family time at the beach.  I knew we had to do their session there.  Kirra loves the water and already does a little surfing herself.  I’m pretty sure these kids are going to be amazing surfers!  I love this session because it really captures what they love to do together as a family!

Here are a few of my favorites and also the slideshow!

I absolutely loved getting to know sweet baby Hendrix and his parents.  Hendrix weighed a whopping 9 pounds, 13 ounces when he was born 10 days early!  His Mama, Lara, is teeny tiny.  I have no idea how that big guy fit into her!

He has the most kissable lips I’ve ever seen.

Conor is an awesome lacrosse player.  His tattoo represents his love for water (Poseidon) and lacrosse.

I always love the connection between mom and baby, but it’s extra special when you can really see the bond between dad and baby.  Conor is obviously head over heels in love with is little man.

Hendrix wasn’t necessarily named after Jimmy Hendrix.  But, Lara and Conor love and have a huge appreciation for music.  I had to grab a shot of him in this adorable onesie!

Thanks again to Lara and Conor for spending the afternoon with me!  It was a pleasure getting to know you two!  You both are already amazing parents!

Baby Mason was a dream to photograph.  Well, except when he pooped on my foot   But, besides that he was so easy to work with.

I love when the parents of newborns are so easy going to work with as well.  I was a nervous wreck when I had my son.  But, Meg and Shawn are naturals.  Super easy going and took everything in stride.  Maybe I can get some pointers from there for baby number 2!

Congrats Meg and Shawn!  Mason is perfect!
