Oh this darling baby.

She was hoped for and prayed for and cried over and loved before she ever arrived.

And now that she’s here, we are all completely smitten. I adore this family and their brand new, beautiful, sunshine girl, Ivy.

We spent the morning together in their light-filled home with coffee, laughter, baby snuggles, and LOTS of jumping on the bed (for big brother Wallace). It is always a goal of mine for sessions to be relaxed and fun for everyone. No pressure or forced poses- just a natural, sacred, and normal day at home- with me there to document. It is my ABSOLUTE favorite thing, to be invited into people’s lives and homes, and to take photos of the beauty I find.

There is so much beauty here in this home.

I hope you sense the connection and love I have for these dear friends of mine in the photos.

Welcome, beautiful Ivy girl. We love you so.
