I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Maria anymore. My oldest school friend has graced this blog so many times, from their wedding to maternity to newborn to family, to their mom and me sessions! What an incredible honour to help welcome her second child, and her first daughter, and photograph Eliana’s newborn session.

Just like with every other session, newborn sessions with a toddler takes time, patience, and just maybe some sweet treats to keep them sitting for a few minutes. We took our time getting big brother Milano comfortable in the studio. The studio is a strange, new place, and it’s completely understandable when toddlers get nervous down here. So we chat and we play and we wait until they’re ready to begin the session.

With some jumps on the bed, time tickles and some laughs, we got smiles out of Milano and captured the newness of Eliana.

I’m so grateful we could hang out, catch up, and capture this new chapter in your family’s life.
