I have been photographing this delightful family for years and was thrilled when Stephanie contacted me to photograph newborn imagery for baby number two – another boy! The Desjardins family is fabulous to work with, and over the past few years I have been privileged to get to know and document their growing family here in Connecticut.

This couple is super grounded, and you can clearly see their family values of respect, kindness, and loyalty each and every time you interact with them.

I’ve loved working with this family for their newborn portrait sessions. You can view big brother Cameron’s newborn session right here! Kyrie’s newborn session might just be my favorite, though. Each time a great family adds a new family member, I’m just so eager to welcome them and offer a glimpse into the newest chapter of their lives. I especially loved the atmosphere in the studio on this particular day. And Cameron, so excited to be a big brother.

We ended our photo session with lots of laughter from this newly minted family of four. What a fantastic day!
