This is one of my FAVORITE newborn sessions to date! Little Olivia is just so adorable and I can’t get enough of all her dimply smiles :) She slept so well through this session and it allowed me to get lots of adorable shots! I have loved capturing this amazing time for this family; from their maternity session, birth session and now newborn session. I am so excited to be capturing Olivia’s first year! It’s amazing how much they grow in just 12 short months and it’s a great time to have regular photo shoots to document it.

Every time I get to photograph a birth I think “How did I get so lucky?”. I am so blessed that so many wonderful families have me join them and document this special time in their lives. Watching the miracle of life right before your eyes is the most amazing thing to witness. I have to admit I tear up every time.

Olivia’s birthday came a few weeks early. Her mom, Kelsi was supposed to go to her newborn care class that mooring and missed it due to going into labor. A few times while she was laboring she said to the nurses “I am so sorry I didn’t make it to my class”! It was too funny! Kelsi is such an amazing mom and she handled labor like a pro. She was so strong and brought her little girl into the world pretty fast. She was born with a head full of hair and the CUTEST dimples I have ever seen. I don’t think I have every seen dimples like that on a newborn. I am so excited to photograph her first year and watch her grow. Seriously one of the most adorable babies I have seen.

Up next I will be blogging her newborn session so keep your eyes peeled :)

Thanks Greg and Kelsi for choosing Portraits By Lucinda to capture your sweet babies birth!
