Sweet Esme slept like a dream for her newborn pictures. Both grandmas were present for the photo session, so there were always eager arms available to give her hugs, squeezes, and kisses. And check out the teddy bear; it was made from her Daddy’s military uniform from the English Army.

I am obsessed with this lifestyle session I recently did of this new family of 6. I way over delivered in this gallery because I just couldn’t pick my 20 favorite, I think I picked my favorite 75 instead. Oh well, this beautiful mama wasn’t mad about that.

Let them run around and be kids!  That’s what I tell parents when they show up for pictures.  It’s unrealistic to expect a two year old to sit and smile for pictures, especially when they are surrounded by wide open space which are made for running free.
