When Evie’s mom reached out to schedule this milestone session, she had one big concern: the Georgia heat. I totally get it—summers here can be pretty intense, and no one wants to spend an hour sweating it out, especially with a one-year-old in tow. I assured them that we’d take things slow, at Evie’s pace, with plenty of breaks to keep everyone comfortable. But as it turns out, the heat wasn’t the biggest challenge that day—it was the mosquitoes! Despite the unexpected company, Evie handled the entire shoot like a champ.

Welcoming a newborn into the world is an incredible experience filled with love, joy, and yes, a fair bit of anxiety + chaos. With everything going on, it’s easy for time to fly by, and before you know it, your tiny baby isn’t so tiny anymore. That’s why capturing those precious first moments with newborn photography is so important.
