baby declan // nj newborn photographer

One of my very favorite things about my job is when I’m asked back to photograph the same families over and over again. Whether it’s an anniversary session for a couple whose wedding I shot, or being asked continually to document a family as they grow over the years, I consider it an honor when someone asks me to document yet another milestone in their lives.

That was the case with this family – a few year ago I got to photograph Casey’s pregnancy with Harper and then, Harper’s newborn session. When Casey was reaching the end of her most recent pregnancy, she asked me if I had any availability to photograph their new newest little love, and I was incredibly happy. Not only do I love having these people behind my lens, but I just love having these people in my life.

Casey and Sam are incredible parents and people – warm, sweet and funny. Man, are they funny. And it was so great to see Harper grow up in to an inquisitive, smart and sassy almost two year old – I have one of these at home, so it was easy territory.

Check out this perfect little family’s session in their beautiful home.

First up, a favorite. HOW CUTE ARE THEY?!

Casey is so calm as a mama. It suits her oh-so-well.

When you’re trying to get a portrait of mama and the new baby, the old baby reminds you that she was here first.

Any now for a little bit of film love. The shots below are a mix of some Ilford 3200 and Portra 800.

Casey + Sam + Harper + Declan, I adore your family. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to be invited back in to your space to document your beautiful life. I wish you all the luck and love in the world. xoxo, lauren
