Ask a newly inducted older sibling ages 1-5 y/o to hold the baby and the response could be anything.  Mostly, its enthusiastic.  Occasionally its absolute revulsion.  Almost always, its short lived as one party or another is going to have “enough” quick!

These two were so into it, though, they couldn’t even look up at me…they were too busy with kisses.

And some silly outtakes when the Livia needed some comfort breaks…

Words made their way into this shoot in a powerful way and I took every opportunity to use them.

I’m so grateful to have met this family during fall sessions and to document this special time, hectic as the start  may have been, in their lives.  I definitely got the message of this one!
