This smiling babe made her way into the world a little over three weeks early — I think she must have known that her parents were so excited to meet her!

Although she was a November baby, we went ahead with our original plan to hang some twinkle lights in their apartment to add holiday cheer to the session. I absolutely love the magical images we created with the lights (with a little DIY hanging assistance from the proud dad)! Mama had already decorated their tree as well, so we had plenty of Christmas spirit to go around!

I adore their style, which is clean and classic with pops of color! The light, pastel palette of the clothing, nursery, and wraps helped keep the focus on Miss Everly and all of her expressions — from huge smiles (maybe the biggest I’ve ever seen from a newborn), to yawns, to slumbering heaven on her daddy’s shoulder.

Wendy & Eric, it was an absolute honor to capture these images for you. Your humongous love for your daughter continues to inspire me long after visiting your home!
