In addition to a Lifestyle Family Session, the Connelly’s also chose to do a traditional posed newborn session with Ivey.  I’m honored when families choose me as their Greenville, SC Newborn Photographer.

Ivey is a very special client because her parents are my first repeat client.  Ivey is the sister of my very first newborn ever, sweet Lydia!

Just look at how much I have grown as a newborn photographer in 2 short years:

Speaking of Lydia, look at how much this quirky little girl has grown in the past two years!  I think she easily could have stole the show 🙂

Unlike Lydia, Ivey did not love my bean bag.  We managed a few bean bag images both asleep and awake  before she demanded to be fed.   I love that she gave me eye contact in the following shot!  So rarely will newborns look directly at a camera.

After she nursed, Ivey finally clonked out right in Tamara’s arms.  So sweet! I’m such a sucker for mother/child images because mom is so often the one behind the camera that she’s rarely in the shot.

Ivey really liked this basket.  It must have been this snuggly purple blanket!   She slept so peacefully .

But my favorite image from this whole session is of Tamara with Lydia and Ivey.   I love Lydia’s sneaky kiss, Ivey’s sleepy body, and Tamara’s pure enjoyment of having two little girls to love.

Tamara, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your family each year.  I love sharing life with you and capturing your joy!
