Lottie | Newborn

Every little one I have the honor of photographing tugs at my heart — I love seeing families grow, husbands and wives stepping into the role of dad and mom, and documenting the miracle that all babies are — but when it’s your close friends and their baby, it’s just on a different level. Lottie’s arrival was long-awaited and I could’ve just stared at her all day, catching glimpses of her mama here, her daddy there, admiring that head full of thick dark hair and every one of her precious features. She is the most perfect mix of her wonderful parents that we are lucky to call friends and capturing this season of life for them was the biggest honor.

Carson wanted to wait until Lottie was a little bit older so more of her personality would be able to shine through, and oh my gosh, did it! Her faces and expressions had us cracking up — the genuine emotions and connection in these is palpable. Her nursery — well that speaks for itself. Absolutely beautiful, curated so thoughtfully and full of character and sentiment. And the family pup, Tig, is over here trying to win the award for most photogenic — it’s a close race!
