This handsome little guy is my newest nephew, and I was thrilled to have him and all his adorable squishiness in front of my camera. He was born looking exactly like his dad, and he officially has the most fabulous baby facial expressions ever! 
The first images were captured at the hospital when he was one day old. I still can’t get over how alert he was, and definitely a pro at sucking his thumb. We will gloss over the fact that while I was taking these pictures, my children were wretchedly and embarrassingly misbehaved. Some days I think back fondly to the days of a quiet sleeping infants in the carseat and miss it! We did the rest of the session when he was one week old, and he did wonderfully.
It’s been wonderful to see my baby sister as a mama. Growing up we always knew she was born to be a mother, but it’s still pretty neat to see her settling in and enjoying her new role. He is one lucky little guy to have these two as his parents. Gavin just happens to be a baby rockstar too; super easy-g0ing (just like his mama) and sleeping like a champ. Congrats again Elsa & Derek, I am so honored to have captured this amazing and special time in your lives. Wishing you many blessings with your little guy!
I loved these in black and white. Love seeing a brand new family of three together <3
I did mention the hilarious facial expressions, right?
Check out some out-takes from our session, I am still cracking up over all the awesome faces!
