Sweet Lila 9 days old, Benicia, East Bay San Francisco newborn photographer

Isn't she just beautiful?   Baby girl, Lila came to my studio last week for her newborn portraits.  She has 2 order brother and sister and they were both so gentle with their baby sister ;-)   We've got lots of adorable images and I'm so happy the way everything turned out.   Lila signed up for baby collection so I will be photographing her when she is able to sit up in around 7 months then when she starts walking around 1 year old.  I love baby collection babies because I get to watch and document how they grow up through my lens ;-) I was over their house yesterday and we decided to create a " family memory wall"  where we are going to add couple gallery canvases  from each session to their dining room wall.  I'm so excited and it's going to be a beautiful.    I can't wait to for a next session!
