Meet handsome Nicholas, who came to see me on his 11th day of life! I first met his parents when they came to see me 2 years ago when I photographed his big sister Juliette as a newborn (see her pictures HERE). It is always so much fun for me to see my repeat clients again, when they come with their new additions to their families, I love getting to see my baby clients as kids! Nicholas looked *just* like his sister too, it was insane! The only difference is Juliette is a girl and he is a boy (and weighed in 2 pounds heavier than she did!). Nicholas was so so cute, and such a cuddle bug! So much so, that as soon as he felt that he wasn’t being held anymore, he’d cry, so I had to pose him in my arms until I got him on my beanbag, to give him the impression of still being held 😉 We ended the session with sibling and family shots, and Nicholas’ big brother and sister did SO good, I was really proud of them, smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Now I did bribe them a few times, but hey, they worked for candy and did a great job at it too LOL! I can’t wait to see them again and to be able to watch Nicholas grow into a big kid… What a sweetheart he was..

All lace knitted items (including teddy bear) used in Nicholas’ session are by The Knitting Bitty! If you follow my work you will know that I only get my lace items from her, she is the best lace knitter out there! Exquisite craftsmanship!
