Ravenswood Newborn Session with Proud Big Sister

The world is so incredibly heavy right now and I think we could all use some joy in our lives so today I’m sharing one of the most fun sessions of 2025 I had. Big sister V was such a treat to photograph and she exudes such joy every moment of her existence. This family sure knows how to have fun, laugh, live well and most of all - enjoy each other’s company. I saw them again after Mr. W’s newborn session for my client appreciation event this fall and while Mr. W was even more skeptical of me, V was still just a giant ray of sunshine. I hope that never goes away. This world needs more sunshine and joy.

(I would of course like to add a caveat that I know children, or humans in general, are not always happy every moment, nor should they be expected to be. And this isn’t something to strive for, nor is it disappointing when they’re not. We’re all unique and our own individual. While I do enjoy photographing smiley, happy kiddos and wanted to share this joy today, I’m in no way discounting children (or people) who aren’t always happy & positive. This human experience is full of all of the emotions and some of us feel bigger than others, need more alone time, have emotions that we learned to suppress as small humans, etc. Life can truly beat us up. I say feel your emotions - all of them.)
