You have a baby on the way, or perhaps your newborn is already here, and you know you want to get some professional pictures taken but you aren't quite sure if a studio session is for you. I felt the same way and I wish that a documentary newborn session was an option when my eldest was born. These sessions may not be for everyone but as a photographer and …
Kenzie | Newborn Documentary Session
Sometimes the smallest things take the most room in your heart. - A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh Kenzie, what a beautiful little girl you are.

Master F – Newborn
Ah, newborns. Master F was a tiny little one. This photo session was his first time out and about since getting home from the hospital and he handled it all so well!
