I met the Dawson family almost a year ago and helped announce their pregnancy with TWINS, then did their maternity session and was all set to do their Fresh 48 photos in the hospital. However, Willow and Lily were taken to the NICU after their birth. I offered to come to the NICU for the photos or to their home once the babies were released to do a Lifestyle session instead. Andrew and Courtney opted for the Lifestyle session and when I saw the cute nursery they had designed for their daughters I was THRILLED!
I swaddled up Lily first because she was already asleep when I arrived. Lily was the smaller twin because her sister, Willow, had been a bit of a nutrient hoarder in the womb! Lily and Willow didn't look like each other but they each looked so much like one of their parents! Willow and Andrew were two peas in a pod and so were Courtney and Lily. Willow has SO MUCH HAIR. The best thing about all of her hair? It wouldn't lye flat! It matched her feisty personality perfectly.
Lily was a little angel and stayed fast asleep. Willow showed off her strength and found out of her swaddle and had me waiting for her to blink to take the photos! It's funny how different these two girls are already!
Once we finished up in the nursery we went into the Master Bedroom to do a few more photos and parent shots. Something so many clients misunderstand is what condition your home has to be in for a lifestyle session. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT! I spend the beginning of each session helping move clutter out of the way where it won't be seen. No one has a perfectly organized and tidy house, especially after having a baby! It's ok, working my magic is what you hire me for. Please don't let fear of your house not looking right keep you from booking a lifestyle session.
I left their home SO excited to work on these photos and share them with you! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
