I had such a magical time with this little guy at his house in Santa Cruz, California. Family and siblings are always included in these sessions, but it is optional, and sometimes families choose to just give me time with their new love. I brought the blanket and the white outfit he’s wearing as well as some other aids but the chair I found in the living room as well as this wonderful window that let in a ton of natural light. We had the heater turned up so that he would be comfortable and mom and I had a great time talking about all things nursing and late nights.
