The easter bunny brought a baby; this newborn shoot had such a fun seasonal theme!

One of the perks of my job is that I get to know all the secrets before everyone else… luckily I am good at keeping them! Last time you saw this crew on the blog, Baby T was a little newborn and now they are excited to announce baby #3 on the way…

You know I love when people create their own way…they create their own events and traditions…they shape what is most meaningful to them. The last time you saw this family on the blog, they were celebrating the baptism of Baby S in the park at the North Carolina Museum of Art. This time we are celebrating with them the baptism of Baby H in their family. This family gathers together family and close friends, out in nature, to set their intentions as parents, family, godparents, and supportive friends to raise Baby H in a particular way within this loving village. Shew! It’s just so beautiful!

It’s hard to know how older siblings of a newborn baby will do in the family portion of a newborn shoot… let me tell you, this big sister and big brother were so stinkin’ excited to be photographed with the baby and the excitement never let up! Can you tell?! They were excited to hold Baby W, read him books, each get to hang out with him in their rooms... the cutest. They were so full of ideas to participate in the shoot. After the very first set where I had all the kids snuggled in a chair, I showed this mama one picture of her kids all together and she started crying, saying that that was it! That's all she needed! The shoot could end there!

But it didn’t…
