A couple of weeks ago we were reunited with our very sweet bello bride & groom turned new parents, Ivy & Ben. Click HERE to see Ivy & Ben’s gorgeous Ocean Edge wedding.
We absolutely love it when our wedding couples contact us again to photograph their baby. It truly is the best compliment and we just love getting to be with our couples again, documenting life’s next major milestone.
Right from the start, Ivy & Ben have been super fun to photograph, and more importantly, just to be around. They truly are the kind of people who really make us love what we do! We adore them and we just knew we were going to feel the same way about their gorgeous daughter, Hailey.
It was so great spending the afternoon with our friends again and getting to meet their Little Miss Sunshine, who hit the gene pool jackpot, getting the best of both of her parents…she’s gorgeous, super sweet, playful, easy going, and very patient with demanding photographers! Here are a few of our favorite moments from our session together…
Sleeping beauty & her musical lambie…
A girl after my own heart, Hailey enjoys a quick snack after waking up. I just love how she’s grabbing mommy’s finger in this next one…
cuddles & kisses…
Is she a sweet monkey face with munchable cheeks, or what? Deee-licious!
Not sure if it’s curiosity or gas behind Hailey’s expression in this next photo, but oh, how I LOVE it!
Seriously?!
I wish our skin could stay as perfect as it is when we’re first born throughout our lives. Hailey is just perfection in this next one. love, love, love!
This next one feels like an ad for some baby product. Remember the Ivory Snow babies? I’m dating myself, huh?!
Safe in momma’s arms….safe like no where else in the world! Beautiful!
Ivy & Hailey….two gorgeous gals! xoxo
Hailey has a special relationship with her dadda. Ben really knows how to get a giggle out of his little girl! “Do it again, Daddy!”
I think one of the things I love most about babies is their ever changing expressions. In one instant it can go from curiosity to serenity, from happy to discomfort, from joy to jubilation and everything in between. I love baby’s expressions and this next one from Hailey ranks up there! I’m thinking it’s a mix of surprise and intrigue.
And in this next one she fascinates herself with her prowess at bubble blowing and intense dribbling. Priceless!
How many fingers can Hailey get in her mouth at once?
Oh, Daddy, I love you!
Our sweet happy new little family, Ivy, Ben & Hailey! Parenthood looks good on you two!
Big big thanks to Ivy & Ben for trusting us to take Hailey’s first photographs (well, the ones professional ones anyway). Hailey is absolutely delightful and was so fun to photograph! As always, it’s great seeing you guys and getting to meet your little bundle of love was a real treat!!! We hope these and the rest of the photos soon to follow become happy reminders of Hailey’s first few months of life. It goes by soooo fast, so enjoy! We love you guys! Christine & Andy xoxoxo
