Katy came home with the news on the 21st that Allison was being induced the next day! We scheduled her newborn session for the 26th, and I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful family...
When I arrived, Catherine was sound asleep, and she stayed that way for nearly all 2 hours that I was there.
 |
It was such a laidback newborn session. I was able to move her around and pose her without even a flicker of her eyes. |
 |
And with a mommy as beautiful as Allison, is it any wonder that Catherine is so gorgeous? |
 |
This is why it is so important to schedule a newborn session during those first 5 - 10 days! The baby is wonderfully sleepy and happy to curl up in little nests. |

Jimmy was positively bursting with pride over his new little daughter, and was so attentive to both of the girls in his life. |

Their two dogs were in crates right next to where I was taking pictures, but Catherine slept right on through their occasional whines and yips. And even when Jimmy let them out for a family photo, she kept on snoozing... |

Dublin and Oakley were so happy to be a part of all the activity they'd been patiently observing. Finally, after nearly two hours of pictures, she began to stir just a bit. This is one of my favorite photos from the entire session. It's not posed, it doesn't really show their faces, but it absolutely shows how a new baby is utterly absorbing... and how parents' focus changes completely with a new baby's arrival... |

Hey! There are those little eyeballs that we haven't see all morning! I am so looking forward to watching Catherine grow and change over the next year. Thank you so much for trusting me to document this time. |
