Newborns are always a joy to capture, but when siblings are involved, the energy is so much fun! This session was filled with lots of snuggles, kisses, and plenty of laughter.

When a new baby arrives, it’s a big change for everyone, including older siblings. Teens and pre-teens often have mixed feelings about having a newborn in the house.

Both reactions are completely normal, and understanding these differences is key to a successful newborn photo session.
