M Family | Maine Audubon Center | Falmouth, Maine | Maine Baby Photographer | Stepheney Collins Photography

Today’s blog features the adorable “M” family and their sweet baby boy who has the biggest, most expressive blue eyes you will ever see! I first met this crew when Julian was just 24 hours old, when I photographed his in hospital Fresh 48 session back in March, and I love that we had another session planned for later in the summer to capture how much he has grown since then! It really is amazing to be able to witness a baby’s growth during their first year of life. There are so many changes that happen, so many milestones, from those chunky baby thighs, to the drooly, teething mouth, to wispy little hairs. And don’t even get me started on the myriad of expressions babies make! All of these things need to be documented, so you can look back on them and remember all the teeny tiny details. We lucked out with beautiful weather that morning and Julian was such a happy, curious boy, delighting in being snuggled and kissed by his parents. Thank you to Kaitlyn and Kyle for trusting me with making these images for you. Here are a few of my favorites.
