Out on the Town with a Newborn and her Rents | Fells Point, Baltimore City, Maryland

It is always a privilege to spend the day with new parents. To be invited in to photograph such an intimate and special time is a joy that takes me back to some of the happiest moments of my own life. Newborn babies are special and as a first-born child myself, I can safely say that first-borns especially so. For this newborn family session, we walked around the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore City on one of the most gorgeous late fall days ever. This little peanut couldn't have been sweeter, which was no surprise given the ease with which her relaxed and doting parents cared for her. This is the way I believe babies should be photographed. A few portraits are important to capture the beauty of who she is today, which will change oh so quickly, but then more natural photographs showing a family being together. Reality is so much more compelling.
