What a great way to end 2015, by spending the afternoon photographing Nick and Ildie with 10 day old Isabella at their home.

We spent several hours together, so our session was relaxed and unrushed, just as it needs to be for a tiny little lady. My plan is to shoot more of this style shoot in 2016, capturing the family, their home and the first precious days and moments with baby (or kids of any age!)

Babies in baskets are surely cute but I think this mix of editorial with a touch of light posing makes for a more real, more meaningful and less stressful experience for everyone. Life with a baby moves fast and changes quickly and I had a great time capturing this window of time; the family, the baby and the home. And of course the cats stopped by to get in on the action. 

Congratulations to Nick and Ildie and welcome Baby Isabella.
