Welcoming Baby #5 – A Beaufort Newborn Session Full of Love

Some stories in my photography journey come full circle, and this one is extra special. From capturing this beautiful mama’s maternity session when she was expecting her second baby to now documenting the arrival of her fifth—I can’t even put into words how honored I feel to be a part of their journey.

This time, we were celebrating the arrival of their newest little blessing—a precious baby boy.  With four older siblings, I expected a bit of wild energy, but once again, this family amazed me. These kids are the sweetest, most loving big brothers (and now, a teenage big sister!) to their newest addition.

The session flowed effortlessly—big brothers sneaking in kisses, the proudest big sister holding her baby brother so gently, and, of course, mom and dad soaking in every moment with their newest love. And let’s talk about mama—just days after giving birth, she looked absolutely stunning, radiating that special kind of beauty that only a mother welcoming her baby can.

Newborn sessions are some of my favorites because they freeze time in a way no other session can. The tiny fingers, the delicate features, the way a newborn fits so perfectly in their parents’ arms—it’s all so fleeting. In a few weeks, this little guy will start stretching out, growing, and changing, but for now, he is pure perfection, wrapped up in love from the whole family.

It’s been such a gift to document this family’s story over the years, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. For now, I hope they soak in all the newborn snuggles, knowing that these moments—though they pass quickly—will be cherished forever.
