This past week I got the chance to see one of my past clients again, who came for her maternity session for baby #2! I first met them last year when I captured their maternity and newborn session for baby boy Grayson (see photos HERE) and I also did his newborn session (see photos HERE). Grayson is now 10 months old, and will be a big brother in a few short weeks!
Say hello to Natalie, that came to see me on her 7th day of life! It’s always an honor when my clients come back to me for their second and third (and sometimes fourth!) baby, and this was the case for Natalie’s parents, as I photographed her big sister Elise (seen HERE) 3 years ago! These years go by SO fast! Natalie’s mom loves deep and rich colors, and I do too, so I am absolutely obsessed with her gallery! The colors came together so nicely on with her skin, and made for a beautiful gallery! We ended the session with family pictures, and Elise is so crazy about her baby sister… A bond for life! What a great session it was!

Meet beautiful Trinity, who came to see me on her 8th day of life! I first met her parents when I photographed their maternity session, so I knew this little missy since before she was born 🙂 Trinity was such a cutie, and even had light brown, almost reddish hair. And she was a sleepy head too, absolutely perfect. I had been preparing for this session for a while, mom told me that dad was an avid Spartan Race competitor and he was going to bring his medals to the session. In my mind, I thought he would probably bring like maybe 2 or 3. He brought so many!! What a champion! And Trinity was so calm as I posed her with her dad’s medals, it was as if she knew this shot would be special.
What an honor it is for me to follow my clients in their journey to parenthood! Time goes by so fast. The babies grow so fast and time is fleeting. Invest in your memories. It would be my absolute honor to capture your beautiful family with my lens. Book your newborn session with Naja Lerus Photography.

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.

Meet 12 day old Anthony, that came to see me on his 12th day of life. Ohhh was he an absolute sweetheart!! Anthony slept like a champ from beginning to end, and was so squishy and adorable that I really did want to keep him for myself haha. He let me get thru pose after pose without making a peep! I was expecting him to be a beautiful baby, as I had photographed his cousin a few years prior, and she was *such* a stunning baby, I knew it had to run in the family; and he was as handsome as I knew he would be… What a great session it was, finished in record time, and he had a full gallery! His mommy brought in his daddy’s tie, and their big teddy bear for me to include in the session, and I HAD to include a pumpkin set up, because the session took place on Halloween so it was an absolute must have, and it all worked out so perfectly! I love each and every picture and this is why it was so hard to narrow them down for his blogpost! I truly have the best job in the world…
