Culbert Newborn Session

Welcome to the World Baby E!

Being in the Culbert’s house for their son’s newborn session was A BLAST!  I got to sing along to the kid’s movies that also play on repeat in my own home.  There were two big sisters running around in tutu dresses that I wish came in my size.  Giggles and smiles were outnumbered only by kisses for their baby brother.  Plus, I am so sure that their youngest daughter is a miniature me.  Maybe it is just that we are both middle children, but I swear that child is my spirit twin.  Watching the sweetest parents try to keep one daughter from jumping off the bed and the other from smothering baby brother with hugs was picture perfect!  I cannot say there were not moments of beautiful chaos, but that is what a family is in this season of life….Beautiful chaos.

Amidst the chaos was perfection.  A perfect display of what it means to be a family in this season.  There is laughter and learning, play and messes, love and frustration.  It is not a neatly posed picture with everyone smiling, but instead is an action shot of interaction and emotion.  This is exactly why I do lifestyle family sessions!  These sessions are real snapshots in time that give you a genuine glimpse into life and family.  Every family is different, and every family has their own story to share.  The Culbert’s story is only beginning, but I can tell you that it is a great one!

Antrim Newborn Session

Newborn Portrait Photography by Photography by Catherine LaChance

Welcome Baby Evanell

It is hard to believe that the new year is here! I have so much in store for 2018, and could not be more excited about what is to come.  This year is going to be about pushing limits and refocusing my energy.  I want to break through my creative limits to discover new ideas and new inspiration.  I also want to return my focus to my true photography passions, maternity and newborn.

It was wonderful to start 2018 by photographing the precious Antrim family after they welcomed sweet newborn Evanell.  I loved having her big sister by my side, both watching over her newborn sister and demonstrating the amazing mind and curiosity of a child.  We both couldn’t stop smiling as I answered her questions and captured her newborn sister’s sleepy smile.  The bond between those little girls will be so strong, and I felt extremely privileged to witness the beginning of it.  Even beyond the bond of sister’s though is the bond between a father and his newborn daughter.  Capturing the delicate features of a newborn girl next to the rougher features of her father’s shows his strength as her greatest protector.  The newborn session for this family truly contained every aspect of why I love newborn photography so very much!
