You know those moments that just seem so peaceful and calm? That’s how I feel as I scroll through Baby Darsey’s newborn session. I love that looking at images of babies can bring such a sense of peace, whether the actual moments were peaceful or not. Because one day when that baby isn’t so little anymore, the precious memories are going to be the ones that stand out in a parent’s memory. Not the late nights, crying fests, or the dirty diapers. Sure, we’ll all remember those times. But we’ll really treasure the sweet in-between moments of rocking that baby to sleep, seeing the first smile, and all of the stuff that babies do to make us fall in love with them.

This sweet little girl wasn’t a fan of the camera, but she cooperated enough for us to get some sweet images that her parents will be able to treasure forever. And I know that one day when they look back on these, they won’t really focus on the fact that Darsey wasn’t having a great day- they’ll remember how tiny she was at this age. Her sweet little hands and feet and the full head of hair she had as a newborn. The sweetest moments of holding her and rocking her to sleep.

Erin & Payne, thank you for allowing me to capture these precious moments for you.
