I met Archer’s family for the first time at their maternity session at Manchester Square. It was our first time meeting, so it was a great time to hang out and get to know each other. I love when I can get to know a family I’m working with! It helps so much, the better we know each other, the more comfortable we are with each other. I was excited to see them again for Archer’s Newborn Session!

Big sister Elsie has the BEST hair, and all she wanted to do was read Archer a story. I love those photos of kiddos when the older sibling is reading to the younger sibling! It’s so sweet, more candid, and allows for some adorable cuddle photos.

Archer did amazing during his session! Every single newborn is different, so we always set aside up to three hours for a newborn session. Some babies we can fly through in 45 minutes, some take a few hours. We just relax, take our time, and let baby lead the way. It really is the best, because when we try to rush through the process, cut a feed short, or power through when baby needs to be changed, it just ends up taking more time, and causes so much frustration!

These guys have signed up for one of our First Year Packages, so I get to see them 4 times in the next while – for maternity, newborn, their 6 month session, and a final one year session!

Thanks so much you guys, I can’t wait to watch this adorable model grow!
