Ava | Newborn Portraits | Iowa City, IA

It was so wonderful to meet Miss Ava for her newborn portraits session! She was so calm and content the whole time and gave us some impressively adorable expressions. Some highlights of this relaxed lifestyle session: cuddles with the furry siblings, Milo and Duke, and getting to spend some time out in the sunshine. Keep scrolling to see all the cuteness!

We’re suckers for a well-decorated nursery…LOVE the crescents on the accent wall and all the pretty details.

Cozy in bed. Ava seems to be enjoying the decor, too!

Sweet, snuggly moments. Ava was working up to a big yawn here, resulting in this “I’m learning to whistle” face. So darn cute!

Milo and Duke couldn’t be left out of the snuggle time! We love how much they love Ava.

We photographed Tina and James’ wedding back in the summer of 2018 — Milo and Duke had doggy tuxedo jackets! It’s always so special to see our wedding clients again for big milestone moments like this.

So content in mom and dad’s arms.

Ava looked so beautiful in this knotted gown and matching headband!

We lucked out with some lovely spring weather — it was the perfect day for Ava to venture outside! How cute is that pink quilted vest?

We had to include Duke and Milo in the outdoors fun, of course (one of the dogs was less than thrilled to be picked up…can you tell which one?). We’re obsessed with these sweet family cuddles. Thanks so much for inviting us into your home for Ava’s newborn portraits, {C} family!
