After doing the Hart's maternity photos when Ruthie was pregnant with Lucy, and then coming to the hospital the day Lucy was born, it was so special to come back one week later to capture her at home with the people that love her most. This session has quickly become one of my favorites...how could it not with such a precious newborn, pretty flowers, and an abundance of baby headbands?

Here's what Ruthie had to say about the experience ≫≫

"There was no questions about having Mallorie shoot our newborn/family photos after our daughter was born. My toddler son was already comfortable with her since she's done multiple shoots for us before and I didn't have to worry about him being weary around someone new. He was such a grump that day but that didn't phase Mallorie from doing her thing! I was so confident that she would capture beautiful moments, even if he was being cranky, and she did just that! She was incredibly patient with the chaos, especially with a newborn who needed to nurse, be changed, etc. every so often. She has such a creative eye which produces stunning photos I will cherish forever!" ≫≫ Ruthie Hart, Austin, TX

After taking maternity pictures of Ruthie and her family while she was pregnant with Lucy, it was such a special honor to be there when Ford met Lucy! This is such a sweet time for the Hart family and I loved getting to capture it all for them. This girl is surrounded by so much love and I can't wait to watch her grow!

Here's what Ruthie had to say about the experience ≫≫

"It was such a treat to have Mallorie come to the hospital the day my daughter was born to capture my son (and family) meeting her for the first time. Because I had a C section, I knew birth photography wasn't an option and Mallorie was really flexible and accommodating when it came to coming up with an alternate plan. I felt so relaxed having her there with us, it almost as if she wasn't in the room because she was discreetly snapping photos in the corner. She dealt with time changes, toddler chaos, and the craziness of the nurses coming in and out of our room. The shots she got are just breath taking and nothing I could recreate on my own. I am so thankful we have these pictures to remember such a special day in our lives!" ≫≫ Ruthie Hart, Austin, TX
