I was so tickled to hear from Joanna and Taylor that they were expecting a little boy (I’d photographed their wedding back in 2019), and that they wanted to have baby S’s Lolo Montana newborn photos at The Jack, where they had been married!

Even more special was that our session date was originally S’s due date. This adorable little guy was two weeks old at his session and he was such a sweetheart. He snoozed a bit, didn’t fuss, and generally had a good time chilling out, looking around at all the trees surrounding him. He especially loved snuggles from his parents and grandparents, and enjoyed grasping the occasional finger here and there.

Because it was such a smoky summer this year, we were a little concerned we were going to have to worry about that for S’s session, but we completely lucked out with a little pocket of blue skies, nearly zero smoke, and temperatures that weren’t scorching! Phew!

Joanna and Taylor! Thank you again for asking me to document your sweet little man — I’m so very happy for all three of you, and just love seeing you as new parents! He is one lucky little lad! Congratulations again!

I recently photographed Becka and Stephan’s maternity photos, so I was beyond excited to get to meet little mister Brayden to make his Lolo Montana newborn images – and he did fabulously during his session at only 13 days new!

He did a most excellent job of demonstrating his eating, snuggling, yelling and finger-grabbing abilities and had us all enraptured with his sweet little face and adorable tiny fingers and toes.

Even Daisy the family dog got to pop in for a few images too – I think Brayden is a dog-whisperer at heart!

One of the most amazing things about newborn sessions is getting to watch my past couples turn into parents (I’ve photographed Becka and Stephan’s family session, wedding, rock the dress session, maternity session and now Brayden’s newborn images!). Stephan and Becka are naturals and Brayden’s big brothers, Brodee and Blayz clearly love their new little brother too (including making sure he gets initiated with some big-brother nose boops!).

Thanks again Becka, Stephan, Brodee, Blayz, Brayden and Daisy for such a sweet session! I always love getting to photograph your family and I’m so excited to have been able to document Brayden’s newborn stage – here’s to capturing all the milestones for you over the years! And congrats again on your newest addition! What a little love Brayden is!

All sorts of weddings, elopements, and portraits! Stay posted!
