In home or outdoor newborn photography?

Babe Mabel was sweet & calm, & nursing quietly when I first arrived.

This family’s house was light & airy, nestled atop one of the beautiful hills in Cow Hollow, the sun streaming in through the large windows. There were eclectic handmade pieces from their wedding, shelves of loved books & timeless photos & paintings of one another adorning their space. These kind of elements can add so much depth to your newborn session. These are beautiful bits of your story, of your space.

I’m know both mama & papa were a bit more tired than the weeks before their new bundle of joy arrived, but they both were warm & glowing. Dad told me he loved when babe M yawned because it made her appear even tinier then she already was. & It did, it was adorable. She was tracking & soaking us all in with these big deep blue eyes. They fed her, they coo-ed to her, they rocked her & they shared her.

Then we wandered over to the Presidio so they could show me part of their normal weekend hike. Mama Z knit the beautiful yellow blanket they wrapped babe M up in too, so lovely! We could see Lover’s Lane from the ecology trail & even got a little further into the mature forest of green ground cover & massively tall pine, cypress, & eucalyptus trees. What an impressive weekend routine! Forever they will have this little bit documented now. They laughed, they snuggled, they adored, & it was glorious to be a part of this very special time.
