Our babe has finally arrived! Everett came into our world in the afternoon (just like his siblings) on a Friday. I knew that this being our third child we had no time to waste in order to get to the hospital. So at five a.m. in the morning of June 19th we zoomed off to meet our little man. Around seven hours and half a push later we met our sweet baby boy. Just the feeling of being alive and knowing that we had a safe and healthy delivery made my little heart explode with pure bliss. It was like the 4th of July had come early! I kissed his long tender fingers and caressed his sweet little head full of hair as I wept with tears of joy. He was so tiny, much smaller then my first two, but I was still in awe of how this big little human being grew in my belly for ten months. He was alive and well, I was alive and well and that’s all that mattered at his first moments of life. I thanked God for all of the beauty that surrounded me. So here we are a bit over two weeks later and this mister is going great!

Here is one of his individual newborn sessions at just five days new. He was awake and asleep for his photography debut which was exactly how I wanted it so I could get a bit of his personality shining through and of course those dreamy sleepy baby faces. Here is my take on a minimalist newborn session and to make it even more perfect (for my taste) I made this a black in white series, which I’ve always wanted try!
