Sweet little Crystal was the best little sleeper for me last week at her in-home newborn session! At 12 days old, some babies are less likely to sleep through the session as say a 5-9 day old baby, but she was a rockstar!

Kim contacted me a few months ago inquiring about a family session and after Covid-19 stay-at-home orders hit and then May’s rainy and cold weather, we had to push back the…
