Something exciting happened recently; it was safe enough for me to have a full photo shoot inside a home that was not mine or my parents! I only realized this after the fact, and it was then that I thought Oh, that’s why it felt a bit weird.

The family was not weird. They’re wonderful. In fact, I have worked with Mom’s sister quite a few times before, including photographing Lyla’s cousin Alexander a few years back.

When I arrive at the home of a newborn, I ask the parents if there are any special blankets they’d like incorporated into their photos. They received so many beautiful blankets! What to do?

We solved that challenge, I think!
