Paoli Fresh 48 Newborn Photography | Grant Walker | Allie Skylar Photography

Have you ever seen a little boy lay eyes on his baby brother for the very first time?  Trust me, it isn’t something you will easily forget!  It’s a complete realization that Mommy’s tummy was indeed growing a baby, a baby that is living and breathing and silky soft.  A realization that this baby loves kisses and snuggles and being talked to.  A realization that the phrase “big brother” really means something!  I witnessed this divine moment last week when Henry met his brother Grant, and even without photos, it is a moment I will never ever forget.

Big thanks to Paoli Hospital for being so rad.

Staten Island Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Baby Beckham

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I just love becoming friends with my wedding clients.  We work together through some of the most beautiful and stressful times of their lives.  A lot of trust is formed, and by the end of it all, we feel as though we’ve climbed mountains together.

One year ago, I was lucky enough to photograph Kaleigh and Brian’s wedding, which you can check out here.  We’ve kept in contact through social media, and I was so excited for them when they shared they were expecting a baby boy.  And then I was absolutely floored when they asked me to photograph their newest addition.  I focus on lifestyle newborn, documenting a family exactly as they are, and this was the laid back documentation Kaleigh and Brian were looking for.

Baby Beckham had an exciting birth to say the least.  He was an early and very big guy!  But oh he was such a joy to photograph!  He smiled and watched as I took his photos, and was calm and happy even with big brother and Tini (the dog) getting in his personal space.  Every detail of his nursery was designed with Beckham in mind, lovingly put together by his parents.  And oh!  The sunlight!  I left a very dreary, rainy Philly (what is up with this sad spring weather?) and when I crossed into Staten Island, it was nothing but sunshine!

Lifestyle Newborn is my favorite.  Years will go by quickly and these first days of adjusting as a new family will be a faint memory.  Take a peek at some of my favorite photos from this darling family’s session! Continue reading “Staten Island Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Baby Beckham”
