One of the greatest rewards I experience as a wedding and family photographer is the privilege of getting to know my clients over a number of years. Often I will meet them soon after their engagement, then I’m lucky enough to photograph their wedding, and often a few years later I get a call as they are about to become parents, and soon after, meet their beautiful newborn. It is such a gift to be able to forever record these milestones for my clients as they begin their family.<\/p>\n

One of my all-time favorite clients (who I am now lucky enough to call good friends) are Julie and Rafael. If you have been following the blog for a few years, you may remember them from their wedding<\/a> in October of 2009. I was so excited for Julie and Rafael when they announced they were going to have a baby, and couldn’t wait for the opportunity to photograph them for their maternity session.<\/p>\n

\nThen just NINE days later, Adrian was born! Adrian was a teeny-tiny one-week-old newborn when I first met him. Is he the most beautiful baby you have ever seen?? <\/div>\n

This is the kind of photograph (on the left) that is not easy to accomplish. You can only get this kind of a photograph with a very young, very soundly-sleeping newborn – under 10 days old. Adrian was out cold for the entire session, and he was an absolute DREAM to work with! \n<\/div>\n

Adrian was so good – he let us put him in these crazy positions, we put silly hats on him, bundled and swaddled him, and he let out nothing more than what sounded like a kitten’s whimper. Best. Baby. Ever.<\/p>\n

\nAnd still, he slept so soundly:<\/div>\n

\nThanks Julie and Rafael – love you guys! \ud83d\ude42 Give Baby Adwian<\/i> a kiss from all of us!<\/div>\n
