After a cold winter and a brisk late March birth, I arrived at Katie and Stephen’s house as April buds were making their way out of long-dormant trees. I stepped into their bright, cheery space as they prepared fresh pancakes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a steamy carafe of French press coffee. They read board books in a soft, melodic cadence as Jonathan slept soundly in their arms. Two adorable and curious pups patiently waited for cuddle time with their humans. All in all, it was a gorgeous, yet ordinary morning at home with a newborn.

–The Head And The Heart
Katie reads a children’s board book to a sleeping Jonathan. Stephen’s shares his love of NASA with his newborn son. Pancake time!Do you remember those early days of both parents changing, swaddling, tucking in? Gosh, I miss those. Goodness, I so love those asleep, tightly eyes and fist. Newborn expressions and details are the absolute best!
See Jonathan’s beautiful hospital session HERE!
Katie ever so kindly shared her thoughts on working with me:
LOVE working with Jen! Easy to work with and amazing pictures. She has a very comforting presence which was perfect for letting us relax and do our thing during the session (especially when our newborn was part of the shoots and I was breastfeeding)! Jen was very accommodating about when/where and was so patient with our pups who just wanted to snuggle her the whole time. We have loved working with Jen so much that we have booked her several times! Jen has truly captured our family. Thank you!
Thank you, Katie! You guys know how much I love seeing you and little Jonathan! Can’t wait to capture him as he grows!

Jen
