Meet handsome Marion Jr, who came to see me on his 9th day earth side. Marion was such an adorable sweetie and slept soundly for the entire session, he did “try” to wake up a little at the end for the session for the family shots, but he was just too sleepy LOL. Marion had the most beautiful head of dark hair, with the cutest little curl in the front, and because his mommy is Colombian, he was wearing a little beaded bracelet to protect him from the “Mal de Ojo” which means “evil eye” (you can see the full description in provided link). They also wanted a sports theme for his session and it all came together so perfectly! This little angel is SO loved by his parents. This was an absolute hit session.

I invite YOU to a personal shoot with me. I want to take the best photos you have ever seen of your baby, and yourself, and document your first days with your new addition to your family.
