I\u2019m so excited to share baby Mo and baby Liam’s Missoula Montana lifestyle newborn photos<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>session with you today! After making Keriann’s maternity photos<\/a><\/span>, I just couldn\u2019t wait to meet these little ones! And how fun that Keriann and Alex have both a little boy and girl in their lives! There\u2019s something just so, so special about documenting lifestyle newborn\u00a0<\/span>sessions. I love meeting the wee ones, but even more beautiful is getting to see people turn into parents. It was amazing to witness how absolutely brilliant they are in their new roles. Keriann and Alex certainly have a lot on their plates now, but boy, are they ever knocking it out of the park together in their new family of four!<\/span><\/p>\n

I met up with them at their home for their photos, and, as it happens, the twins were one month old that day. Mo (short for Montine) and Liam (short for William) were absolutely incredible during their session! I was so impressed by how alert they were, and how big they are. Mo was 5 pounds and Liam was 7 pounds at birth (big kudos to you, Keriann!). They also have a super cool palindrome birthday \u2014 3-20-23 \u2014 which also happened to be the first day of spring!<\/p>\n

Being newborns, Mo and Liam had their moments, but Keriann and Alex were at the ready with an excellent pacifier strategy to keep the babies calm and happy. (Side note: I love how the pacifiers have names, related to the little stuffed animals attached to them. One is “Stego” and the other is “Drama Llama.” SO good. \ud83d\ude06) Keriann and Alex would count down “one, two, three!” Then they’d remove Stego and Drama Llama, and we’d have a few seconds to make photos before the babies realized what was up and staged a protest.<\/p>\n

Liam completely passed out at one point, and Alex was a bit incredulous since “he never does this!” Mo, on the other hand, was so wide-eyed and seemed to be deeply taking in everything around her…including the weird black box I had up in her face. Liam about melted me when he gave us a few smiles here and there showing his sweet dimples.<\/p>\n

And I was so happy to be able to make some images with Mo and Liam’s grandparents, too \u2014 Jo and Tommy. We also had fun creating photos with the beautiful quilts Jo made for the babies.<\/p>\n

This was such a beautiful, delightful session, and I’m just so glad we got to capture this stage in all their lives together. Time flies, so being able to freeze these sweet moments just means the world to me.<\/p>\n

Keriann, Alex, Mo, and Liam (and Jo and Tommy, too!), thank you so much for inviting me into your lives to capture these memories for you! Your family is so sweet, and it was an absolute treat to get to meet Mo and Liam. I can\u2019t wait to see you all continue to grow together!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy the following peek into this sweet newborn session<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n
