South Jersey Family Photographer | Skipper Family
It is a privilege for me to share with you a Newborn Lifestyle Session. Through the years, I have documented this family grow to a family of five. The Skipper family is a loving family and I am proud to share a little glimpse into their first weeks of welcoming their baby girl home. This newborn session was so adorable. It took place in the comfort of their home and it truly captured the family with their newest princess. Enjoy!
The Lifestyle Newborn Session was…
“comfortable and stress-free. Trying to capture family photos with two toddlers and an infant is no easy task! However, this was different. Being in the comfort of our own home with no pressure to get the perfect picture with everyone looking at the camera was a relief! Instead, we dressed in comfortable clothes and captured the candid silliness of our toddlers and the quiet moments of mom and dad in awe of this new, little life! There was no pressure or schedule to follow. We were able to take breaks for snacks for the kids and to nurse the baby. I know I will always treasure these photos!”
When we brought baby home we…
“couldn’t stop smiling. We did it. After nine months of anticipation, planning, preparing, worrying, our sweet girl was home with us. You think you are ready. You think you know what to expect, but we were quickly reminded of the miracle it is to welcome a new life into the world. How easy it can be to forget how tiny, how new, how special! One of the most special parts of bringing baby L home was watching her big sisters with her. They took turns holding her and singing to her, which melted mommy and daddy’s hearts!”
As a family of 5 …
“our hearts are full (and hands haha). It’s hard to believe that in five short years of marriage, we have been blessed with THREE beautiful daughters. We know the days can be long, but the years are short! We want to do our best to enjoy every moment of them being “little.” Yet, we can’t wait to watch our girls grow, learn, and discover. Our hope is that they will always know how loved they are and that they are capable of amazing things.”

Here’s a little love note, I call Butterfly Kisses, from mom and dad to their little one:
Butterfly Kisses
Sweet L,
While waiting anxiously for your arrival, we couldn’t settle on a name that seemed just right. Each week, we changed our mind, and just couldn’t decide. When we came across your name and saw that it meant “Light,” we knew this would be your name (although your big sisters were hoping for ‘unicorn!”). Even before your arrival, you brought light, happiness and even more love to our family. As you go through this life, we know you will continue to shine and bring joy to those around you.
As you grow up, remember these things:
“Find the positive and good in the world.
Don’t ever be scared to take chances or be yourself.
Always lead with kindness and a grateful heart.
You WILL make mistakes and face challenges. Don’t dwell on them but learn from them.
When you doubt yourself, remember “You are braver than you believe, stronger then you seem, smarter than you think and loved more than you know.”
And mostly importantly, never forget, you will ALWAYS be our BABY GIRL!!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
