Baby Luciana Lyric | Baltimore Newborn Session

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory".  ~Dr. Seuss

In July, yes, this post is a few month coming, I got to meet this sweet little baby and capture her newborn photos not once, but twice.  Her parents are friends or mine and really wanted me there to capture Luciana's 1st moments in the hospital for more of a Life Style session and then again a few days later at there home in Rosedale, MD.

When Luciana arrived, her parents contacted me and we arranged a time to meet at Mercy Medical Center.  At just 2 days old Luciana was alert, content and very happy.  She had a full head of beautiful wavy hair & had her little eyes open most of the session. At the hospital I took more natural candid style photographs, we also took some breaks for Mom & Dad to feed her and to talk about the birthing story.  It was a wonderful time and getting to hold her was the best part!  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the hospital.

Mom and Dad picked the "Say Cheese" onesie just for the shoot.

Just 5 days later I met up with them at their home for my traditional style newborn session.  The nursery theme was done with the characters from the Dr. Seuss books.  Mom's love for all the books came at a young age, when she was a kid.  Included in this session are fun photos with the cat in the hat "hat", Dad's love for martial arts & music, some family shots outside and a very touching moment where Luciana Daddy included his Father's (Luciana's Grandfather) folded American flag, such a sweet gesture to honor him. I'm excited to watch this little one grow and play and to photograph all her milestones.   Enjoy the post!
