Maine Newborn Photographer

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing the newest addition to the beautiful family I first met in 2021 – Kristy and Jon, along with their adorable daughters, Liv and the newest bundle of joy, Ivy. Born on December 22nd, Ivy has already brought immense joy and excitement to her family.

It was a special experience for me as I had previously photographed Ivy's older sister, Liv, back in 2021 when I first ventured into the world of newborn photography. Witnessing families grow and having the opportunity to capture these precious moments is truly heartwarming.

During Ivy's session, it was evident that she was a curious and alert little one from the start. As any newborn, she initially resisted the idea of falling asleep, wanting to explore her surroundings and not miss out on the happenings of the day. Adapting to a new environment can be challenging for babies, but Ivy's inquisitive nature added a unique charm to her session.

Despite the initial resistance to sleep, we managed to capture some incredibly beautiful moments. In the end, we were able to complete six different sets, each showcasing Ivy's delicate features and the pure essence of her newborn innocence. Additionally, we took some heartwarming family photos that will undoubtedly become cherished memories for years to come.

The session was not just about capturing posed images but also about documenting the authenticity of Ivy's personality and the love that surrounds her. Kristy and Jon's family radiates warmth, and it was a pleasure to witness and capture the genuine connection between Liv and her new baby sister.

As a photographer, these sessions are not just about taking pictures but creating a visual narrative that tells the story of a growing family. From the initial resistance to the peaceful moments captured, each photograph is a chapter in Ivy's journey, and I feel privileged to be a part of it.

In the years to come, as Ivy grows and the family evolves, these photographs will serve as a timeless reminder of the love, joy, and excitement that surrounded her early days.

Welcoming Ivy into the world through the lens of my camera was a heartwarming experience, and I look forward to capturing more precious moments for Kristy and Jon's family in the future.
