She's here! The star of the maternity session "Worth Waiting For" has arrived! She's plump and soft and feisty and total cuteness. Here she is below stealing a shoulder snuggle with her mommy.

And one with daddy...

Her special backdrop was a big, super soft zebra blanket made just for her! This little love is blessed with many, many adoring family members and friends already.

When it comes to newborn sessions, the key word for everyone involved is PATIENCE - it was 2 hours before we were able to get our first shot in where she wasn't crying :) Mommy and daddy did an amazing job being patient and just loving on her until she was ready. And Chloe made it all totally worth the wait - she charmed us with her sweet face and eyes and then finally fell asleep and let me click away. One of my favorite pictures was this picture where mommy and daddy were soothing her with tender hands...

The results of all that patience and tenderness were one sweetly calm baby girl...

It was grandma's idea to lay out these bright daisies - they add the perfect bright border to the bright dress.

When it comes to baby feet, I can't get enough! I think the pic below will be the one I frame for myself :)

And no newborn session is complete without that sleepy, all tucked-in, birthday-suit shot. Just looking at this one brings my stress level down on any given day...

Sleep tight, little love!
