The story of Rex Robert and his beautiful little family wouldn’t be complete without a newborn session to bring it all full circle! I had the pleasure of documenting this family’s maternity session, birth, Fresh 48, and then newborn session. The original plan was to document their maternity and newborn sessions and it just all unfolded so beautifully.

Throughout my life I have been so blessed in having met so many incredible human beings, people that have been willing to open their hearts and their stories to me, people that I believe undoubtedly were placed in my life for a reason. This is one of those families. I talk some about how we connected when I blogged their maternity session a few months ago, but from the time that Mandy moved to Las Vegas and began looking for a newborn photographer there are just so many cool coincidences.

One of my favorite things about documenting births, newborns, and their families, is that I often I get to go on to document so many of those major milestones within the first year, and as their families grow! I am so thankful to the families that have stuck with me past their newborn sessions and trusted me in documenting life’s most memorable stages!

One of the really wonderful things about photographing newborns and their families here in Las Vegas is that so often my families come back to me throughout the year to document those first year milestones. I get to see my newborns not only grow and change and develop their unique little personalities, but also get to see their families grow and evolve over time as they settle into the little things that make each family unique and special.

During newborn sessions parents are usually in those first few weeks of just getting to know this new little human and are often times in the fog of sleepless nights, figuring out schedules, and questioning just about everything you do. It is such a fleeting time and that is why I am so passionate about documenting it!
