Lydian Anne gave me so many little smiles. I have never in my life seen a two week old baby smile in response to someone but I SWEAR to you – when her daddy talked to her she would grin the biggest grin: from ear to ear. You can see for yourself in the image below! I promise everytime he would say her name she smiled that big – it was like his voice tickled her heart.

We wrapped her session up with a quick outdoor shot. It was important for her mommy to get a picture of Lydian in the baby blanket and Christening gown that once belonged to her. They were handmade by Lydian’s grandmother. I love incorporating such heirlooms into newborn sessions. There is just something so magically about blending the past with the present.
