Lillian [Coralville, IA Newborn Lifestyle Photography]

Sweet Lillian Grace (Lilly for short) was born on November 16th, so she was just 6 days old when she made her photography debut last Friday. This is my sister Rachel's first baby, and the second baby girl born into our family this fall. I have to say, I ADORE being an aunt. It cures any baby fever I may come down with, hah, and really - who wouldn't love being an aunt to such a sweet babe?

Rachel enjoyed pampering from Kayla, who came to the house and did her hair and makeup - we gotta take care of those new mamas! :) *More coming on that new service soon!* She looked, of course, gorgeous - and I don't think I've ever seen her and Matt so happy (well, maybe on their wedding day). These two are going to make great parents, Lilly is so lucky to have so much love in her life. I'm thinking you'll probably see a lot more of this sweetie on the blog through the years! For now, here are some of my favorites from her lifestyle newborn session...

Rachel and Matt - I am so thankful to have photographed this amazing time in your lives together. Lilly is such a gift, and such a lucky little girl to have great parents like you both. I love you all (Allie too!) and wish you nothing but happiness now and always.









This right here is their life. Sweet Allie, begging for belly rubs. Love that pup.



Allie has slept with this blanket since the day Lilly was born and they brought it home for her to sniff. So sweet.























It's hard to see in this pic, but Lilly has the best baby mullet EVER. Just sayin'.
