Baby Roman | Newborn Photographer | Philadelphia, PA

I love doing newborn sessions. I just really do. It's so incredible to see these new little people who have just entered the world. They're so tiny, yet so intricately formed. Pretty amazing.

Another plus is that parents always come up with such fantastic names. Like with little baby Roman. I know, right? Roman! You haven't even seen him yet and you know he's awesome. 

His parents, Matt & Shin, are pretty incredible people as well. Matt is a pastor at one of our sister churches in Philadelphia, and Shin is a teacher at the Christian school down the street from our house. While they love having a good time (Shin especially is a prankster), it's so humbling to see the tender love they have for their new little one. 

Congratulations, Matt & Shin, and without further ado, meet 10-day-old baby Roman!

I absolutely love little baby fingers and hands... it's unbelievable how tiny they are!

 

Besides being ridiculously cute, Roman is a champion sleeper. He definitely got an A+ on keeping those eyes closed. Matt and Shin were trying so hard to get him to wake up -- but he wasn't having any of it. Their efforts finally paid off at the end, and the last two are some of my favorites. They remind me of how -- incredibly -- this really is a whole new little person, even when he's just 10 days old. Such a blessing, huh?

Baby Jack | Newborn Photographer | Glenside, PA

Oooooh! There's a new boy in town, friends! I'm so excited and delighted to share these images of sweet baby Jack. He truly stole my heart away!

Jack is the firstborn child of my dear friend, Kristin. In her earlier life, Kristin was known as Ms. Cain and taught down the hall from me during our Teach For America days. She taught 3rd grade, I taught 2nd, and we shared many laughs, tears, frustrations, and joys during those first years of teaching. I'm not sure I would have survived without her! 

Needless to say, she and her husband, Dave, got married a couple years ago, and have now welcomed little Jack into the family. Jack was pretty anxious to get started on life, and made his entrance about three weeks early. While we didn't get newborn newborn photos, he was still pretty tiny three weeks in (as you can see), and so adorable, incredible, and beyond wonderful. Am I gushing yet? =)

Little Jack does a fantastic job of being just plain adorable all by himself. However, I think when you witness the total love and adoration that Kristin and Dave have for him, and the incredible tenderness with which they care for him, what you see crosses the line from adorable into absolutely precious. There's just nothing like being in the hands of Mom & Dad...

And to finish things, I'll leave you with a photo of Jack's "big brother", Roscoe... congratulations again, Kristin & Dave!
