introducing….baby charlotte

Not only did I photograph Christine & Jayson’s wedding, I got two amazing friends, a Timtom and now a brand new baby girl to fawn over. It’s all a good deal!!  Yes, we’re cousins (well, Christine and John are cousins) but we’re those extended kind of cousins you don’t really see at family stuff so since the wedding, we make sure we see a lot of eachother.

Charlotte was 3 weeks old at the time of the photos and after they all came out and spent the day at the beach with us, we came back home and I did a super fast set up and shoot of Miss Charlotte. My first newborn(ish) at night and using all off camera flash instead of natural light. A big change for me, but I’m getting there with it.

Charlotte slept all day at the beach (yes, she was under the umbrellas in someones arms the whole day. yes, she was covered in layers from head to toe. yes, she survived the beach and was, in fact, quite happy there. yes, Christine is very brave!) so I knew there was not a chance she was sleeping for our session. And I was right.

So excited to have one girl in the family!!
