Welcoming baby number two into your family is a beautiful kind of chaos. As a newborn photographer, I’ve learned that the key is embracing that messiness, rather than trying to control it. Each session with a growing family is different, but with baby number two, there’s this natural shift where your firstborn becomes part of the story.

I love letting the older sibling guide the session. Sometimes they want to be close, other times they’re more interested in their toys, and that’s okay. It’s not about perfection; it’s about capturing the real, tender moments. The smiles, the curiosity, and even the moments when they’re not quite sure what’s happening.

With two babies, the chaos is louder, the love is bigger, and the memories are even more precious. It’s a reminder that life doesn’t need to be perfectly staged to be beautiful. It’s in the little moments, the connections, and the imperfectly perfect reality of welcoming a new baby into the family.
