Baby Z | Lifestyle Newborn Session | Shawnee, OK Newborn Photographer | Michelle Valantine Photography

A candid shot of Mom looking out her kitchen window while holding her sleeping one week old baby boy. You can see his little fingers, and the rolls of skin on his back as he rests against Mom. Taken in their home in Shawnee, OK, during the fall of 2016.

Stephanie shares, "Zane fits into our family like he has always been here. The transition from one to two boys has been a joy. Canaan loves his baby brother. He loves to give him hugs and kisses, and will sing him songs in the car if he starts crying. The three boys have been spending time snuggled in our big chair watching baseball. I love seeing all three of them sitting together, Jordan explaining baseball to Canaan while Canaan kisses and tickles Zane's feet.  And I love sitting outside with Zane. He is so alert and interested in what's around him. I love watching him look around at the dancing tree shadows and studying my face.  I am tired, but my boys make my heart full."

Below are images taken on a beautiful October morning, with the warn sun shining brightly and a slight breeze in the air.  We started with family shots outside with the sunlight kissing the tops of the trees.  While we were at it, I also wanted to get a family picture of them in front of their charming house.  As we were shooting, the chickens in the back pen called out to us.  We finished the shoot inside with some adorable portraits of one-week old Baby Zane and his big brother cuddled together.  Come look and see... 

I got to go to their home one week after Baby Z was born. It was a beautiful morning, with the sun shining and a light breeze. This is their first picture as a family of four. Taken at their home in Shawnee, OK.
Their 2-year old is such a delight and so expressive! I believe this expression came just from playing peek-a-boo from behind my camera! So sweet! Taken at their home in Shawnee, OK.
