Enjoyable afternoon spent capturing this new arrival. To be honest a lot of the time I spent chatting with Katie, Julia’s mom. Katie is a super put together, confident, self assured, mellow first time mom.
I’m impressed.
Yes, she has questions, moments of doubt, and forgets to eat at times, but she’s also so naturally a mom. It’s amazing.
And her daughter is pretty fantastic too. She wanted to stay up and hear all of our chatting. We had to figure out silence would help the poor baby fall asleep. Between waking and sleeping we captured the amazing 8 day old Julia:

Congratulations Katie and Darren. I love that you spend time watching Julia’s face trying to figure out if it’s the “I’m full!” face or the “I’m hungry!” face. Julia is lucky to have such interested parents.
