Charlotte NC and Fort Mill SC Photography | Children's Portrait Photographer Becca Bond | Newborn | Baby | Family Portraits

dear little miss e…

the day that i met you was a sweltering hot charlotte day.  your parents were some of the sweetest people i’ve ever met and obviously adored their new baby. you opened your eyes so wide to look around, you wanted to see everything.  normally, newborns aren’t so alert!  you looked at me, at my crazy looking camera and photographer gear, your beautiful mommy, your loving daddy and your doting, protective doggies.  you heard a dog bark in the distance and i could tell you wanted to follow that noise in curiosity… what is it?  where is it coming from?

mommy and daddy held you and rocked you and then you fell asleep… a sleep that took you to beautiful dream lands while i snapped away!

thank you, little e!  you are so sweet and one day you will look back on these pictures and will be amazed at how tiny you once were!

XO

this, to me, is the picture of new parenthood:

What began as a joke from photographer Alicia Williams’ husband turned into a ‘pet’ project for me and Alicia  This is her newborn puppy, Juno.  She is so sweet and slightly narcoleptic… she sleeps ALL THE TIME!  What a dream come true for photographers!  How could we resist when given the perfect sleeping ‘baby’, the perfect light, the perfect blanket, and of course, the two of us camera-obsessed kooks… a portrait session was bound to happen!  Despite the kids’ demands to hold her, we managed to get a few cute shots!  She is such a sweet lil pup.

Dear sweet little newborn B

When your mother called me to tell you that you arrived and schedule your portrait, she was so happy that I could feel her glowing through the phone.  She said that you just fit right into the family, your sister adores you and takes good care of you, and you are the perfect little teddy bear.  I could not wait to meet you!!!

Everything she told me was so true.  You are a beautiful, perfect baby.  I just melted when I saw you, and I loved holding you.  You were one of the most mellow little ones I’ve ever worked with.  You loved your sister’s snuggles….and you slept like a champ, a photographer’s dream come true for a newborn!

You are surrounded by love, both your mommy and daddy and big sis.  I can’t wait to watch you grow!  Just don’t do it too fast!

XOXO…. Becca
