Some moments in life feel like they were wrapped in a warm hug—the kind of moments that make you slow down, breathe in, and soak up every second. Katie and Jim’s newborn session with their sweet baby Maeve was exactly that. A perfect mix of intimate at-home snuggles and breathtaking outdoor beauty, captured just weeks apart.
Meeting Maeve felt like stepping into something truly special. Katie and Jim radiate love and joy as they settle into their new roles as parents, and baby Maeve is the most peaceful, snuggly little soul. She fits so perfectly in their arms, as if she’s always been there.
We started in their home, in the coziest, most familiar space—where quiet mornings are spent with warm cups of coffee, and where Maeve will grow surrounded by love and laughter. There’s something so beautiful about in-home sessions: the way light filters through nursery windows, the way new parents steal soft glances at each other, and the way tiny fingers wrap around their hands.
Two weeks later, we met again at Veterans Acres, just as the leaves hit their golden peak. The crisp air, the earthy scent of fall, and the warm, golden hues of the season made the perfect backdrop for this milestone in their lives. Watching Katie and Jim walk through the trees, holding their baby girl close, completely in awe of her, was such a powerful reminder that life’s sweetest seasons are the ones spent with the people you love.
As the trees shed their leaves and prepare for a new season, so do these moments—they shift and change so quickly. The tiny newborn stretches, the sleepy snuggles, the way Maeve fits so perfectly in the crook of their arms—these are the little things that, in the grand scheme of life, become the big things.
Katie & Jim, thank you for letting me capture these fleeting, love-filled days for you. Maeve is already so deeply loved, and I can’t wait to see how she grows into the beautiful world you’ve created for her.
