Sydney was already 6 weeks old for her first photo session but she sure slept like a champ - more like a 10 day old. And the best moment of the entire session was when she gave us a little sleepy smile when she was in her mom and dad's arms.

I don't get to do many outdoor newborn sessions but the Charles family met me at Holcomb Gardens on a beautiful evening in the beginning of October and the session flowed perfectly. Their dog Daisy was also very well-behaved.

Sheryl and Chuck were the sweetest new parents. Every time they looked at Sydney they said, "aww, she's so cute." And the look on their faces when they would hold her....melt. my. heart.
