Ewa Beach Newborn Lifestyle Session

Third time’s a charming little girl for this sweet family of five. The boys of the house are smitten and Mama is over-the-moon. She and her own mother teamed up to adorn the cozy nursery with handmade crib bedding, wall decor, and a personalized quilt. Bra-vo! Check out Mama’s Etsy shop here.

Also, I’m so lucky to have been able to capture photos for this family just months ago; can you find the hidden maternity photo in any of these shots? This bundle of joy is settling in and surrounded by lots and lots and lots of love. Welcome home!

Not So Newborn Photos

When mom reached out and said that she wanted to do a mini session with her entire family, I paused. Sessions with a bath tub and an infant are typically quadruple the amount of time as a mini, but when mom said she never had maternity or newborn photos (thanks, COVID and medical reasons), we decided to slightly lengthen the mini session and go for it. And whew, we had fun! Baby cooperated so well, big sister was thrilled to play in the flowers, dad was happily along for the ride as long as he didn’t have to get into the tub (he said it was too girly!), and mom and big sis wore matching suits (hello, adorable!).

Mom filled out a pre-session questionnaire and described that she wanted to showcase baby’s surgical scar on her opu (belly) from her newborn days, perhaps with the family’s hands around her. We strived to capture that and so many more shots to showcase the love they share as a family and as mother and daughters.

Ten Little Fingers, Ten Tiny Toes

This beautiful family just grew by ten little fingers and ten tiny toes. Big sister is just so proud of her new, bright-eyed baby. The original plan was to capture the birth but COVID-19 so uninvitedly put her foot down and said, “Not so fast.” Can’t blame mom for having her spouse as her one support person rather than her photographer. ;)

In the trenches of newborndom, mom reached out to switch gears to a newborn lifestyle session. It’s such a privilege to be invited into their lives to capture some sweet everyday moments as they find their rhythm as a family of four. Welcome, baby girl!
