Just six days after our maternity session, baby Reagan came into the world! She was a dream to photograph and I just loved capturing all her sweet little features and details. Mom and dad wanted baby's gender to be a surprise at birth, so the nursery had the cutest gender neutral owl theme for their baby. It didn't take long for little Miss Reagan's lovely presence to complete the room.
The weather was nice, so we had some time to go outside for a garden basket shot and on the family pool patio. I jumped at the opportunity to snuggle her and broke in mama's new Baby K'tan (picture at end of blog post!)...babywearing is a weakness of mine, and I'm always happy assist new mother's in any way I can help. So many gorgeous images were captured, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them. Thank you so much to this beautiful young couple for welcoming me into their home and letting me document this precious time.

I love seeing Logan and Lauren for their birthday photos. It's hard for me not to smile big when I see them!

Lilyta Photography offers mini sessions throughout the year for the families that want to document the growth of their family. A new haircut, a cute toothless smile, another birthday, a visiting grandmother...there's always a reason to take some special photos. E-mail or call to find out how easy it is and have fun in the process. Finally getting this adorable family session up on the blog!

Your baby will experience everything for the first time only once. There is no greater joy in being a parent and seeing your child's eyes as they discover the world. I was so happy I was asked to document Aaron's first beach experience.  Watching the sea foam tickle his fingers and toes and hearing those giggles....melt my heart!

I adored meeting this family! Their warm and happy spirits made the beach an even nicer experience.  Before leaving, I was gifted with the yummiest box of homemade organic maple sweetened banana muffins. I really have the most thoughtful clients that know the way to my heart <3 It's always a plus to meet other families that are into healthy eating and like minded.

It was a yucky afternoon with wind, grey skies and a drizzle.  I was ready to reschedule our session, but this gorgeous mama brought her sweet handsome boys and some sunshine. Crazy Florida weather maybe?

It was so great meeting this first time expectant couple.  I'm glad we were able to capture one of the cutest baby bumps I've ever seen...she was due any day! The sunset was perfect and complimented her natural glow.

Nothing is more exciting than telling your loved ones that your whole world is changing in the most amazing way possible! I loved meeting Jennifer and Matthew, they are so cute in every way, and excited to share their news. Looking forward to documenting their growing baby belly and little boy when he arrives this summer!

Over 10 years ago this mama and I met and we've remained friends. This session was especially sweet for me because seeing this wonderful couple turn into a family of 4 has been a blessing. Last summer, big brother Logan made the grand announcement!

This newborn session was one that I especially enjoyed. I enjoy all my babies of course, but the session itself was a family affair. Aimee called me several months before the arrival of her daughter and wanted to make sure I captured some special moments for them before their family made a big move to another continent. Both sets of grandparents were there and the environment was joyful and warm. Baby Penelope was always smiling and slept peacefully. Big brother was happy and cute as can be! What a blessing to experience such happy moments with a beautiful growing family.
