Tiny Footprints Project - Baby Jacob

My second shoot for The Tiny Footprints project introduced me to the adorable baby Jacob and his beautiful mommy who was absolutely head over heels in love with Jacob.

Having your photos taken is hard work, man. 

Jacob was very close to his release date when I was there, and he continued to do well so he did get to go home shortly after these photos.  

I've heard he is still doing amazing and his mother sounds just as smitten with him. 

Congrats to Jacob and his family for making it through the NICU!

Baby Aiva and family

All the way back in May (goodness, this year is going fast!) I got to meet this beautiful little lady and her family.  

Sweet baby Aiva has grown so much since these photos! I know her grandma so I get frequent updates on her and her brothers.  

Her brothers are just as adorable as Aiva - just not as teeny. 

I love silly kid photos.  I think they like them too.  It makes photo sessions more fun for them.  Especially when they have to be super patient waiting for their newborn sister who needs many breaks for snacks and diaper changes. 

Because I knew her grandma, we got lots of time to change up outfits and play and chat during down time.  Definitely some of my favorite people to spend a day with.  

Aiva's aunt (I believe) made this mermaid outfit for her.  It was so adorable and only slightly too big for her at the time.  Newborns are always smaller than you remember. Aiva was around the size of my newborns and yet I can't remember feeling they were that small. . .
