How is it that I am such a lucky girl that I get to spend my days with adorable newborns and their loving families??? On Tuesday I went and hung out with baby Lucca, who is just 2 weeks old, his big sister Ella, his Mommy, Daddy and his Grandma!

I think Lucca deserves the award for the most alert and content baby during a photo session. Now mind you, most all of my newborn sessions are quite smooth, with the babies content either in their parents arms or even being moved from place to place. But it’s inevitable, babies are babies, and they get fussy, or sleepy, or messy or SOMETHING. But little Lucca had his eyes open I would say all but the last few mintues of our time together. He layed content as can be as we moved him around, bundled him, unbundled him, changed him etc. Even Mom & Dad were a bit surpised. I hope he slept well for you Tuesday night and he is just getting ready to get into a nice schedule for you two!

Gotta have it, itty bitty baby feet, so sweet you just want to kiss them!

Yep, he melted my heart through the whole morning. Look at this handsome little boy!

And those itty bitty fingers, so tiny, yet already so strong.

Lucca is his own beautiful… er I mean handsome artwork

The gentleness and deep connection I felt throughout this family made me so happy. Dad is just so gentle and completely in love with his two amazing children, I was filled with joy as I left their home after spending the morning with them.

Then as Mommy took care of feeding and changing Lucca Ella and Daddy and I went out back to play. Ella has the best laugh. She loves playing with her Daddy, and I’m not sure who has more fun, Ella or Daddy

I love to watch the older siblings faces when they interact with their new baby in those first few weeks. I just wish I knew what Ella was thinking of this new little guy.

Grandma was able to make the trip out from the midwest in time for Lucca’s birth, and has been able to stay to help Mom and Dad transition from one little one to two. Ella is loving spending time snuggling and playing with her Grandma.

And I have a feeling Grandma feels the same way about snuggling and spending time with her two grandchildren

Enjoy your teaser you guys, I had such a wonderful time with all of you! I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your photos soon!
