Congratulations to Doug and Lindsay on their new parenthood. Little Cayden was born two weeks before this shoot at a healthy 9 lbs, and mom was home quickly with everyone healthy. I was excited to shoot this newborn portrait session for Lindsay and Doug, who’s wedding I shot back in July.

I went to their house, and also took some shots of Lindsay’s sister, brother in law and their daughter. I got some really adorable photos of Cayden with each of his parents and by himself. We also did the “Christmas card shot” with Cayden wearing a bow and a Santa hat.

Thanks guys for a great session and for letting me into your warm home. Onto the photos!

And with mom:

I swear I did not tell them to do anything but hold their baby. Their expressions are totally candid here– just doting over their little boy!

Awww

Cayden had been awake for the longest stretch of time in his life.. so he was definitely tired!

Such a treasure.

Enjoy your holidays everyone!
