I don’t think I need to tell you about how sweet it is when older siblings immediately fall in love with their brand new brother.  The photos tell the story.  It makes my job so easy when the love is just oozing out of your every pore.  Whether it’s a brand new baby or a family that’s been a family for years, it doesn’t matter.  You can’t fake love.  And you can’t deny it either.

When I’m photographing families, I’ll ask them to do things like snuggle or get close or just hang out like you do at home.  It’s so much fun to see them show love in their own unique way.  And to see older siblings (and parents!) welcome a brand new life into the family, it’s like heart warming and tear-jerking and all the heart eye emojis.

LOVE.
