On New Year's Day I spent a little bit of time with my very first newborn of the year, Mr. Jonathan Arthur or Jonty as his mom and dad likes to call him. Sweet little Jonty came into the world on December 22, 2013. He slept lightly during our session but I was very pleased that he slept the entire time which gave me the opportunity to capture all of his sweetness. The session took place in their beautiful home in Saint Charles County.

I began the session by going straight up to the nursery to check out the lighting while mom finished nursing Mr. Jonty. The "castle" themed nursery allowed gorgeous natural light in which made it perfect for our session.

His dad is a huge soccer fan so we definitely needed to fit in an Arsenal paraphernalia.

I can tell immediately that Jonty and his dad already have such a special bond. Jonty responds well to his dad's voice and according to his mom he sleeps like a rock when he is in dad's arms.

His mom was so adorable and very sweet! She said she was very excited to get his photos done and I can tell just by how well prepared she was for the session. What a sweet babe and beautiful family! I am very honored to capture this unforgettable chapter in their lives. Thank you Courtni and Tom!
