Grow with me | Second Baby Girl Newborn Session in Fort Lauderdale

Click here to Meet my partner Lena who captures all these beautiful memories from maternity and newborn sessions exclusively for my birth clients leading up to and following their birth stories... 

I met Caroline & Chris a couple years ago when they were expecting their first baby girl. It has been really cool watching their oldest daughter grow and become a big sister. I couldn't wait to see how their girls are getting along in the beginning :)

I have my own two girls at home that are 2 years and 10 months apart, and I am so excited about them growing up and being best friends. I think that's been my favorite part of motherhood so far, watching my girls play and learn about each other. And the beginning is so great, all the focus is on big sis and her newly attained role, and on baby sis taking it all in.

When I pulled up to their new house in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday morning, I was really charmed! Fort Lauderdale has its fair share of eclectic and quirky homes, and its so refreshing from neighborhoods where theres maybe 3-4 variations of the same house design. 

I almost wished I could stay the whole day and document every nook and cranny of their house. I walked through the front gate of their fence that encompasses their entire yard (which I just LOVE!) your kids can run around the entire yard without worrying they'd get in the street, how cool is that? Grandma and Grandpa greeted me at the door along with dad. Grandma was rocking baby girl in her arms and she looked SO in love, as grandmas always do. 

I spent a little bit of time taking candid/lifestyle documentary photos in their eating room and kitchen, (I absolutely ADORE their pot hanging rack by the way and want to get one ASAP for my own kitchen! And their window cabinet doors are just my style!) I followed the family upstairs to the master bedroom overlooking their entire backyard. The wall of windows was a dream come true. I feel that natural light is a beautiful, moody gift, perfect for capturing every moment in your home. 

I hope you enjoy these photographic pictures as much as I did! Such a sweet Newborn Session with the entire family including their doggy in their Fort Lauderdale cozy house. I can't wait to continue to capture amazing moments with this family as their girls grow up big and turn into best friends! 

Cozy Newborn Home Lifestyle Session with a family of 6 including fur babies!

When my Emma was born, things were so, to be completely honest, chaotic!

Suddenly everyday tasks took over the whole day! I barely got around to getting more than 1 big thing done a day. So for me, to schedule time for a photoshoot, get my whole family dressed and get out to the beach, well, that thought sounded exhausting to me!!!

Don't get me wrong, I would have LOVED to do a gorgeous sunset session on the beach with my family, but that just wasn't going to happen! Having just had a baby, we mommies know that it isn't a walk in the park! There's some recovery time, both physical and emotional, and it varies for every woman of course, but how easy and how YOU is it to invite your photographer into your home and have them capture what your family is like right now, without waiting until your baby is crawling or walking.

I started documenting my own family on a weekly basis with my big camera once the baby was born. I learned a big lesson all on my own, I'm not in most of these pictures! Insert big sad face! 

I was so excited that it was important to Ana that I come back to her home after the birth of her daughter Victoria. The first weeks of what a lot of moms call the fourth trimester go by so fast and a lot of days run into each other. I love that this session took place in their home. It is cozy and it is so them.

If you are pregnant and expecting your little baby in January, February or even March of the new year 2017, it's not too early or too late to contact me about a newborn lifestyle or documentary session in your home! 

FORT LAUDERDALE HOME NEWBORN FAMILY SESSION - FIRST TIME PARENTS

This is a continuation post from the maternity session I posted. These two incredible parents met their daughter for the first time just a few weeks after we did their pregnancy photo shoot. I am so excited to share this sweet, cozy family newborn lifestyle session from their home with you. Mom is now expecting baby number two, and I am thrilled to be able to share those photos with you in the coming months! If you would like to see their maternity photos please click here

Boca Raton Family & Birth Photographer | Welcome to the World Baby Boy!

Last week, I visited a dear friend at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. 

I love this sweet family. They are so gentle and kind. You can feel the love and compassion and respect they have for each other even if you just spend a minute with them. They are such happy, joyful, soft-spoken souls. I am so glad that all the stars in the universe aligned and that it could be possible for me to capture these very first moments for them. It means so much to me when I see the happy smiling faces of families knowing that the moments that means so much will never be lost now. Enjoy your precious newborn baby boy my friends <3 

Goddess Car Birth | Boca Raton Birth Photographer

One of the most amazing moments of my life. We rushed from mama Paula's house to the hospital and I pulled up in front of the Toppel Family Place @ BRRH (Boca Raton Regional Hospital)

I ran around their car with just my camera in hand to ask what room they took her to, and I see dad Joe holding newborn baby girl Daniella's head as mom was pushing in the backseat of their car!

Congratulations mama on your second vbac!

Love you guys dearly!! Thank you for letting me share your birth story & for trusting me yesterday morning!

I truly believe God had a hand in the timing.
