With a December 28th due date, I *thought* Ellie would be my first newborn of 2018. However, she had a different plan, and came 3 weeks early. So, instead of being my first of 2018, she was my last of 2017!

I love when I get to do Fresh48, Studio, and Lifestyle sessions for families. The way the scheduling usually ends up, I get to see these sweet families 3 weeks in a row. The only downside, is that after seeing them every week for 3 weeks, on week 4, I really miss them!

Born at 5 lbs 13 oz, Ellie was the smallest baby I have had in a while. She might be little, but I can already tell she is going to have a big personality. I loved seeing all of her sweet little facial expressions and noises. And, although I am pretty sure it isn't as cute at 2am, her little screech/cry was pretty darn adorable.

Thank you N Family for allowing me to capture these first moments with your precious baby girl.
