Caroline & Nathaniel’s Newborn Session (featuring Benjamin the Dog)

From the first email exchange I had with Caroline and Nathaniel’s mom, I knew she was a client I was going to connect with. She was a Harry Potter fan like me and she wanted to get her and her husband’s Airedale Terrier Benjamin Franklin (how cute is that name?!) involved in the photos. It’s not very often that I can combine my specialties of newborn and pet photography, so when I get the chance to do that, it’s very special.

Benjamin was so sweet and gentle with twins Caroline and Nathaniel. At one point, I wanted to try and get a shot of him giving them a kiss. While I was strategizing with mom and dad on how to get the shot (a little spot of peanut butter on Nathaniel’s head perhaps?), he just went ahead and did it without us even trying! I can tell he’s really going to love his baby brother and sister.

We eventually gave Benjamin the rest of the day off and went inside for some photos of just the twins. They did really well through several different outfit and blanket changes. Their mom knitted them the pea pod outfit, a beautiful Gryffindor blanket and the adorable blueberry and raspberry caps. Their grandma made them blue and pink hats to wear. I was so impressed by their craftiness. It really added a special touch to the session. Mom Sarah was so sweet, that she even gifted me the pea pod outfit when I went to drop off their products. I can’t wait to use it with my next set of twins!
Here are some more of my favorite photos of Nathaniel and Caroline!
