Esker and Melanie recently welcomed their new daughter, Maeve, into the family. They weren’t planning on getting newborn photos done, but as soon as she arrived, they knew they had to. I get to do their wedding this coming September so I was super happy that I got to have a portrait session with them before then. Plus, I also got to meet Maeve, who might go down as the calmest baby I have ever met.

The session, of course, took place in their lovely new home. It was very casual and candid session, which is my favourite kind. At one point, Esker pulled out his guitar and sang a few songs which was very sweet. I simply can’t wait until the wedding later this year!

I also filmed a bit of video during the session too. You can check that out below, along with some highlights.
