Shep’s newborn photos by Anagram Photo
The chapter of our family story wherein we introduce a new character would not be complete without photos, and I’m so very grateful to have had our friend Graham on hand to take these ones. His skill, his eye, his sense of light and scale and setting – they’re all exquisite. But what really sets him apart is his kindness and ease, and that goes whether you’re one of his lucky friends or just meeting him for the first time. I am so glad to share his beautiful work with you today! Here, a few of my favorites from Shep’s newborn session.
Once again, my lovely friend Sam was on hand for hair and makeup help. I am almost always FOR hair and makeup help (as I am useless when left to my own devices), but especially a few days after giving birth. Thank you, wonderful Sam!!
We took a few more in Shep’s nursery, and they’re some of my favorites — that post will be up next!
P.S. June’s newborn photos and my baby favorites from the first six weeks
In one of those photos I can already see the hint of the unique smile he has now!
Beautiful family! Beautiful photos! <3
SO SWEET!!! You look beautiful and Shep and June are too precious for words! (John looks nice too, haha!)
I have been dying to see these!! Beautiful! You look amazing, Emily!
These are beautiful! That last one of June looking up at everyone… too cute!
So beautiful and full of love! Any tips for making it go well? Did you get your makeup done? You look stunning – as always!
Thank you so much, Emily! YES, Sam did my makeup, as well – she is the best! One of the trickiest things about newborn photos, I think, is finding something to wear while not knowing exactly how your body is going to look and feel. For instance, I bought this shirt while late-in-the-game pregnant, and I don’t think it was the best choice – but I wasn’t up to even shopping online in the two weeks or so between when Shep was born and when these photos were taken!
So sweet!! I forget how tiny newborns are, ha! And I couldn’t agree more with what you said about Graham; we did a Spring mini session with him last year and the photos were wonderful! :)
I’m so glad!! He is wonderful :)
