I was so excited to meet Coleman for his newborn session! His mom, Anna, was one of my first friends in college (we lived on the same hall in an all girls dorm), and we’ve kept in touch with a small group of girlfriends ever since. It’s hard to believe we’ve been friends for almost 16 years, and now we’re growing our own little families. Time sure does fly, doesn’t it?

Coleman is named after two of his grandmothers, which I just adore. He was awake and bright-eyed for most of our session, but he thoroughly enjoyed being wrapped up and held by each of his parents. Anna and Joseph chose to use a couple baby blankets that had been given to them, as well as a beautiful day gown made by Joseph’s mother. I love being able to include sentimental items in photos that will be remembered and looked back upon by them and their families for years to come. Enjoy some of my favorite shots from Coleman’s first session!
