Peonies cake smash

I just about died when this cutie`s mom pulled out this bonnet. HOW adorable is it?!? I love "sitter" sessions- it is such a sweet age!⁠

I love this photo because it looks like he is roaring like a lion! 🦁 Babies have such intense yawns 😁⁠

More sweet families from my Spring mini sessions back in May! 🥰

Fun fact... I used to spend a long time trying to flatten out baby`s fingers during newborn sessions in this pose. But now? I leave that little fist curled up if that`s what baby wants! Those little curled fists are such a sweet newborn feature! I do still try to gently have baby open their hand, but if they aren`t relaxing those fingers, I just go with the flow. The longer I do this job, the more I appreciate letting baby set the tone and choose their own poses.
