From Bump to Baby: Welcoming Baby Boy

One of the best parts of my job is getting to follow a family’s journey—from belly bumps to baby snuggles—and this session had all the feels. I first met this sweet crew for family session. Then, a year and a half later, I took maternity photos for their second baby. Fast forward a few weeks, and they walked into the studio with a brand new tiny human—baby James —and enough love to fill the whole room.

Let me just say: this baby boy was chill. He snoozed through the session like a total pro, curled up in those perfect little poses that make all of us collectively sigh. Seriously, he gave me the kind of sleepy, snuggly moments photographers dream of.
But the real star of the show? Big brother —who is two years old and absolutely nailed his debut as a big sibling. I wasn’t sure if we were going to get cooperation or chaos (because toddlers, am I right?), but he came in with the sweetest heart. He held baby brother’s hand, gave the gentlest kisses, and even sat still long enough for a few sibling shots that made everyone melt. There was one moment where he peeked over at the baby with this proud little grin—cue the tears.
I've had the honor of photographing this family during their pregnancy, their newborn session, and even a few family shots in between. Getting to watch them grow—not just in numbers, but in love and connection—makes my heart so full. It's the kind of thing that reminds me why I do this.

Ivens Family, thank you for letting me be part of your story (again!). I’m already looking forward to the next chapter—first birthdays, more sibling giggles, and maybe even a cake smash or two.
