We had much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. We got to spend time with family & friends. We enjoyed good food and had time to relax. Amid all of that we also got to photograph a surprise proposal (more on that in our next post) and had a reunion with Matt & Katherine, a super sweet couple we first met back in 2007, when Matt’s brother Adam said, “I do” here on Cape Cod.
This time, Matt & Katherine had a new family member with them….sweet Claire, who was born in September in Hong Kong, where the family lives & works. They had a big trip back home to visit family and were all a bit jet lagged, but that didn’t stop us from having a lovely time together chatting, reconnecting and getting some pretty adorable photos of them with their sweet girl.
Here’s just a peek at our time together…
Matt’s mom had given them this AWESOME yellow vintage baby scale. I just loooooove it. Find a sunny spot, pop on a cozy throw and a happy naked baby and voila….baby perfection.
Hey beautiful…
Our little love bug was hungry when I first arrived, which is how I like it, because once babies eat they get the most gorgeous, crazy delicious full bellies, that just make me (& daddy) smile soooo big. And, can we talk about the sweet eyes on our beautiful girl? Too yummy!
Claire is such a sweet baby. She’s so content and happy…just taking it all in. I must say, if I flew half way around the world just a few days earlier, I’m not sure I would be quite so lovely to be around. Can we talk about the belly for a second?
Chatting with her gorgeous momma. Just loved listening to Claire coo as she conversed with Katherine. Love moments like these too much!
Closed eyes and sweet kisses….Mmmmmm good!
We tuckered her out pretty quick, so Claire took a little catnap in her momma’s loving arms, which gave me time to focus on the love & her sweet toes…
The face of an angel!
Happy again after her wee rest, it was time to get naked again….I mean, come on! The cuteness is off the charts!
Playing with Daddy! Apparently, Claire is happiest on her changing table….yaaay for happy babies!
Taking a little break while mommy & daddy had their photo taken. And, more changing table play time, this time with mommy. Oh, how this girl loves her mommy!
A quite moment, just the girls….swoooooon!
Our happy little family….love these guys! I could have hung out all day with them, chatting and photographing their sweet girl. Such fun! I think we have a Holiday Card keeper….
I LOOVE photographing mommies & daddies skin on skin with their new babes. There is something so very pure and beautiful in this sweetest touch…Claire seemed to like it too. These next two are among my faves….
Claire put up with a lot from me…even as we finished up, I didn’t want to go. But, our sweet girl needed some down time, so we bid adieu with this final shot of a most lovely family…
Matt & Katherine, thank you so very much for opening your home & hearts to me and sharing yourselves and your sweet girl in such a beautiful…and super fun way! I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and you’re all on a decent sleep schedule again. 🙂 I loved our time together and hope we can do it again on your next trip back home! Special thanks & much love to Kaitlin & Adam for connecting us. Here’s hoping we can do a big entire family photo one of these days! Till then, we hope these photos serve as happy reminders of your first months with Claire! Big love & hugs, Christine & Andy xoxo
