Meet Lilah

Working with a newborn is such a special experience. As the mother of an 18 month old, I have a completely different perspective than I had before or just after having a baby. Everyone tells you they grow and change so fast. It's such a cliche, but you really don't realize the truth of it until you experience it. It feels like they will be a baby forever (time doesn't always go quickly those first few weeks!) and then it's over in an instant.

And I'm sure that when I have an 18 YEAR old I'll have yet another perspective as well!

Lilah had her photo session when she was just under 2 weeks old and she was such a pleasure. I first met with her parents just before she was born. I love seeing the transformation a baby brings. It's such an exciting time. And already her parents look like pros, even though they said they felt far from it.

Welcome to the world, Lilah!
