Welcoming Baby August | Lynchburg, VA Newborn Photographer

There’s something so special about documenting the earliest days of a new baby’s life—and Baby August made his debut in the sweetest way.

August came to the studio with his two big brothers, Xander and Theo, and they were just the best with him. We split their session into two parts—sibling portraits on one day and newborn portraits on another—which gave us the perfect amount of time to slow down and capture each part of this story without rushing. With young kids, that extra time can make all the difference.

Xander and Theo were full of personality and so gentle with their new baby brother. You could already tell they were settling into their new roles as protectors and best friends. Some of my favorite sibling shots came from their interactions with August—natural, sweet, and full of love.

During his newborn session, August surprised us with a few wide-awake moments (those little curious eyes!) and even gave us the sweetest little smile. I always say those expressions are little gifts—they show up when you least expect them, and they never get old.

One of my favorite parts of this session was incorporating a little nod to Dad’s College football days.

Mom and Dad were so kind and easygoing, and it was clear how much love already surrounded this little guy. Watching a family grow and seeing the joy that a new baby brings never gets old—and August’s session was a reminder of how powerful and tender those early moments can be.

August, you are so loved—and I’m so honored I got to capture your beginning.
