Elijah was only a few weeks old when I had the privilege of visiting Scott and Erin’s home for a newborn family photoshoot. Amidst that chaos that surely comes with first-time parenting, the couple appeared totally capable and confident in themselves as a team. More than anything, their joy over Elijah’s arrival just poured out of them. Even their sweet pup wanted to be in as many photos as possible and snuggle little Elijah (the cat, not as much!)
We kept things cozy with photos on the bed, in the nursery, and in the backyard. As is always the case with newborn shoots, we stuck to baby Elijah’s schedule and needs, though he wasn’t a very demanding baby at all! He seemed perfectly content to snooze, yawn, and receive lots of kisses and hugs. It was certifiably adorable.
The Arbogasts were a precious family to capture in this newborn photoshoot. I had previously photographed Scott and Erin with their extended family, and it was really special to see them again and meet their newest family member. One of the best parts of being a photographer is getting to stay in touch with clients and document those important milestones as families grow and change!
