Merry Christmas—straight from the angels! Please welcome a true beauty, little Adeline, only four days old. My gosh she is a doll face! Her snuggly little body, soft cooing noises, and ten little fingers and toes have Mommy and Daddy completely in LOVE! What a lovely gift from above—a child.

She is so gently held by her adoring parents as I capture them in a snuggling moment. Oh, the love of a first child. My thoughts on my first-born are still very fresh. The miraculous little being in your arms that flourished from one tiny cell into an amazing child who smiles, breathes, and moves.

At four days, Adeline still had on her I.D. bracelet from the hospital. I was the lucky one to cut it off for our session. Probably one of the first things to grace her keepsake box with many momentous items to follow…

I rarely see a newborn with blonde hair; most newborns have dark hair on their heads and bodies. Little Adeline’s blonde hair is so cute, especially with a little flip at the ends. My other favorite thing about this image…those wrinkles…I could snuggle with this babe and her little wrinkles for days.

What is sweeter than a newly made little foot? Adeline stretched out as often as she could…I bet she kicked quite a bit and is one happy girl to be born and able to let those legs S-T-R-E-T-C-H!

What a wonderful way to spend a very cold winter morning. Thanks so much for a beautiful session!
