While visiting with Sloane’s family yesterday morning, I learned a fun fact– she was born on her parents’ 5th wedding anniversary!  How special is that?  I can’t think of any better way to celebrate a happy milestone like that than to welcome a precious baby. I know the three of them are so thankful for one another, and there is no doubt their extended family is also thrilled with their first grandbaby.  She is sweet as can be, and as you’ll see below, Sloane is a really beautiful baby.

{Just as a side note for expecting mothers– I typically like to photograph in the first 5-10 days of a baby’s life.  At that point, the baby is much more sleepy and cuddly, which makes the session go a bit smoother. If you schedule a newborn session with me, please keep this in mind and then keep me up to date when you head to the hospital so we can adjust accordingly!  🙂  Sloane’s session was originally scheduled for that time frame, but we had to reschedule due to illness (on my part).  Though she was 2.5 weeks old when I photographed her, she was really a champ and I was really pleased with the sleeping images we were able to get!}
