This weekend I had the opportunity to drive up to Newburyport MA to meet precious 2 week old Kaitlyn.  I’ve spent quite a bit of time with Alissa and Ken at Ryder family weddings over the past couple of years, and it was a great privilege to be invited to capture the first Ryder grandchild!

When I arrived, little Kaitlyn was sleeping peacefully in her super swing.  I took a quick trip around the house to scout out the perfect locations to complement her cuteness, then we set out to see how many locations it would take to wake a sleeping baby (if you’ve ever wondered, it’s 3…just like a tootsie pop).  We started out in the nursery, using all of the details of her room as the backdrop.  Then we headed down to the living room, where the beautiful natural light, and my portable background, brought my professional studio right into their home.  By this time, Kaitlyn was a little hungry, so while she took a snack break, the grand-dog, Chardonnay, got a taste of what models have to go through (look for Chardy’s blog post later in the week).  Once her baby belly was full, Kaitlyn was ready to go again, and we finished out the session with cuddles in Mom and Dad’s bedroom.  This session is part one of a 5 part “Year in the Life” package, so check back in three months to see how Kaitlyn has grown!
