Most of this family is no stranger to my lens - but one tiny little member of the family was! The Hochstedler family welcomed their third child - arriving later than their previous babies had arrived, but still born before his due date.
Of course, as a December baby, we had to get some photographs to commemorate the season!
Little baby H's older siblings already love him so much.
Of course, his dad & mom are so in love, as well.
I always try to get some photos in the parents' room (where baby is sleeping for the first several weeks) and then in the nursery (where baby will sleep until there's another baby on the way... hehe!).
And some final images of the whole family enjoying their new normal.
I don't usually do a bunch of posed baby photos, but I made a comment over a year ago about how this family's fruit bowl would be beautiful with a newborn baby inside, so of course we had to try it!!
Thanks so much, Hochstedlers, for inviting me, once again, into your lovely home to photograph your beautiful, growing family! I appreciate the opportunity very much!
