Little Vivien was about a week old when I got the chance to do her newborn session. She was the most easy-going little newborn I've ever worked with, and I just couldn't stop gushing over her cherubic little face and her adorable, fuzzy, baby head. I also loved how excited and doting her big brother was. Enjoy these gems from our session!...
