hatchling R | rhode island newborn photographer

happy new year! hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season and that you're all fired up for a great 2014!!  what better way to kick off a new year of blogging than with some photos of a pretty little baby girl?!

meet my brother's little lady, riley! while her mama was convinced she was never going to make her appearance, she arrived the friday before christmas at a whopping 8 lbs, 4 oz and 21" long. Such a wonderful holiday gift!!

just a little over a week after her arrival, we put riley to work with her first photo shoot. at first she was fighting sleep and she was very interested in all the commotion and was following my camera all around. all it took was a few extra feedings, a space heater and some cricket white noise to get her snoozing!




riley's such a sweetie and all of the handmade elements made for such a unique shoot...from the berry hat she received from volunteers at the hospital to the many family made quilts and personalized nursery blocks, she's certainly a loved little girl.

but don't be fooled by all of the pink and purple touches, she's destined to have a touch of tomboy in her...the john deere fuzzy socks are a dead giveaway :). and how about that great head of hair she has already!? such a little beauty!



i can't wait to watch the newest member of our extended family grow! love her! xo!
