I love when couples/families become repeat customers! It’s so special to get to capture families as they grow and change and I was so happy to be able to photograph this outside family newborn pictures in the spring.

It helps that I’ve photographed this family multiple times because Kate is one of my best friends. We’ve known each other since she was born because our parents are friends. We were roommates in college, I was with her when she first met her husband, I photographed their engagement session, and I was even her maid of honor at their wedding.

Kate and Jordan lived in another country for awhile so it wasn’t until their 3rd son, Max, that I was able to photograph their maternity session, and have continued to photograph their growing family. Oscar, their fourth son was born this spring. He was a little bit of a surprise because for the first 3 boys they found out the gender. For Oscar they waited until he was born to find out the gender. And now Kate is officially an all boy mom to the sweetest four boys!

For Oscars newborn session we did a little bit of a different session and photographed outside family newborn pictures. Jordan’s parents have a beautiful yard with beautiful gardens. We photographed Max’s (their 3rd boy) maternity session here too. With three of their boys on the go outside was the perfect place for them to run around and capture a more lifestyle session. To photograph Oscar on his own where no one was holding him we used an old quilt for some pictures. I also found a metal water basin and a basket that I put some blankets in so we could lay him down.

Baby yawns and their little smiles are my favorite pictures to try and capture since it happens in a brief moment, but I can capture them and make them last for over a lifetime. It’s the same for newborn babies who only stay tiny for a brief moment.
