It’s about time! We finally got the chance to meet little miss Adelyn. You may remember hearing about Adelyn, even before she arrived, when we had Mom and Dad’s maternity session this summer. You can revisit that session here.

This gorgeous little girl is the first baby girl we have had in the studio for a newborn session. She was so sweet, and so hungry! Man, those newborns can really eat! Anyway, Adelyn was absolutely adorable throughout our whole session.

We use this pose with each of our newborns and I think, perhaps, this could be one of my favorites. I love the way Adelyn is snuggled in the sling and she just looks so cozy!

I also think that these photos of this young, new family are so heart-warming and they bring a smile to my face every time I see them. You can just feel the love and excitement Alicia and Mike have for their new little bundle of joy.

And, oh my goodness…I cannot get over these adorable teeny tiny toes!

This is the Motherhood to Maternity art piece that we created for Alicia. Completely gorgeous!

These are the other art pieces that were created for Alicia, Mike, and Adelyn.

We are going to be trying something new with our newborn sessions in 2010 and Alicia and Mike were our first guinea pigs. Please watch the very special video below, it is unlike anything we have done in the past:

A few weeks ago, the lovely Alicia and her dear husband Mike came into the Aberdeen studio with her niece Lilly (whose session you can read about here). The intent of that visit was to have photos taken of Lilly, however, we were able to convince Alicia to have a few maternity photos taken while she was here. Here are some of the photos from that session:

Alicia decided that she enjoyed the mini, impromptu session so much and wanted more photos to choose from to document this time in the family’s life so she contacted us to schedule another session, for just maternity photos. Having Alicia and Mike in the studio again was so much fun. They are a wonderful couple and the delight that they share in this new adventure just beams across their faces.

Alicia is so excited to be a mom, but Mike is so thrilled to be a dad and it was so nice to see that play out in their interaction with one another. They are totally in love with one another and their baby girl, Adelyn, who is on her way. Alicia has said that she has enjoyed being pregnant so much, partly because Mike loves that she is pregnant.

Alicia is a beautiful Momma-To-Be, the camera just loved her and we tried a few new things with her during this session that turned out even better than we expected. The new red drape being one of them. She looks so elegant in these photos. I am so glad we could capture that for her.

Little Adelyn is going to be so lucky to have such loving and warm parents. We hope we will be able to meet her one day not too long from now!

Here is a slideshow of some of the portraits from Alicia’s session.
