Tiny little Hazel was such a star for her Newborn photography Burnaby session. This sweet little girl slept soundly, snuggled up while her big brother jumped and bounced and banged. Happy to snooze in spite of the noise level, she was the perfect little model. When I arrived, daddy and brother came down to greet me and brought me up to meet little Hazel. Mama was sitting and cuddling her as she slept soundly in her arms. She stirred a little when mom stripped her down to her adorable little cloth diaper for our session.

Mom chose one of the beautiful swaddles from The Mini Scout that I had brought along for our session and daddy swaddled her tight and cozy. She settled again pretty quickly once mom picked her up and all snuggly in her swaddle. There were a few sweet moments where she squirmed and made it known that she didn’t love the natural light from the close-by windows pouring into her tiny eyes, but they made for just the sweetest photos.

Big brother was full of energy, running around, bouncing, and really wanting very little to do with me or my camera. I expected this a little from our experience with maternity photos, but mom and dad came prepared with fun little rewards for participating. It helped that he was quite smitten with his new baby sister and was proud to be able to sit and hold her for a few photos. He loved giving her kisses and pointing to her sweet tiny nose.

This Newborn photography Burnaby session marked the beginning of a calendar full of girls for me. Almost every baby before this born this year on my calendar has been a boy, and I’ve only known of boys being born to friends, while I now have nothing but baby girls in the calendar for the rest of the year! I’m personally excited to get some good use out of these and the other gorgeous girly swaddles I’ve collected for my sessions!
