zola | newborn session

My girls' teacher at AcroFitness
was expecting her second baby and I had the privilege of doing her professional newborn session! Typically I recommend scheduling newborn sessions during the first 5-10 days after the baby is born, but we didn't get together until Zola was nearly 1-month old.

One-month-old? Well, surely that is still a newborn, right? Of course! She was still teeny tiny, and capable of curling up in a ball. However, in those few extra weeks, she also has learned how to s-t-r-e-t-c-h her little legs and arms, and just did not want to be curled up. Or sleeping, for that matter! She was wide awake the whole time I was there. And she had found her hand, so when she wasn't moving around, she was sucking on her fingers.

I still got some adorable, newborn-looking pictures of her, though!

Her mom absolutely LOVES hair accessories: headbands, big flowers, big bows? Bring 'em on!

Just like her big sister, this baby was "Born for Big Bows!"

So, welcome to the world, Zola! I can't wait to see you following in your family's footsteps and flipping down the streets of Mooresville in the annual parade.
