Philadelphia Newborn Photographer | Perfect In Every Way (Part One)

Sometimes, when I pack up my things and head to a newborn session, I wonder what they'll be like. Well, I always do that. And, I also always rock out to two decidedly-not-for-newborns songs on my way to every session, but I digress. So, when I headed to meet up with this family, I did my usual daydreaming. But, when I walked in and met Grandma, she knocked my socks right off. First, her home was covered in photos. And, I don't just mean school photos of her boys when they were kids, either. Yes, Grandma had those, but she also had photos of her grandmother, her mother, her siblings, photos of entire sorority houses from at least a generation ahead of her, and then some. I didn't know where to look first, but look I did. Her walls were lined with her family's history and she was kind enough to share some of it with me.She was also kind enough to share some of her cooking with me, too. You see, this session took place on Baby M's daddy's birthday, so Grandma had a "little brunch" for Daddy. Only, Grandma's idea of a little brunch would have you or I cooking for days! When she offered me some, I tried to decline and say that I had brought water with me. This did not appease Grandma. So, I relented and had a bit of her delicious brunch, and got to sit and hear a bit about the family history. (I did work, I promise! Baby M was eating, too!) And then, the star of the hour was there. I think I gasped when I saw him! You will too. He was the sweetest, best little model - just a photographer's dream to work with. I swear, I am lucky because the parents of the prettiest babies in Philadelphia seem to hire me!Don't you agree? (I have so many photos that I can't fit them all in one blog post. More to come, too.) I love these so much, I was even internally arguing with myself about which to post first in this blog post.This one is for sure one of my favorites. Daddies and their babies just get me.How could you not love that sweet little smile? Do you see those dimples?!What a little darling, right?I love how against Daddy's hands, you can see just how tiny he really is.Sleeping like a little angel!Which one is your favorite? Let Baby M's family know! (Or, reserve your vote. Because more photos are coming soon!)
