Lyra ~ Newborn Photographer CT | Vernon, CT

This is little Lyra (pronounced lahy-ruh), named after the constellation that has one of the brightest stars in the night sky. When her mom called me looking for a newborn photographer, she was very happy to know that I would create a session as unique as they were.

Mom described themselves as “big nerds” because they loved things like Harry Potter, Pokemon and Legend of Zelda (I had to look that last one up). After spending 3 hours with them during their newborn photography session, I found that they were the loveliest people who were so fun to spend time with. They couldn’t be any more in love with their new baby girl if they tried.

Only 6 days old, Lyra was an absolute joy to work with. She wrapped right up like she was still in the womb and didn’t make a peep.

Having the greatest illustrated copy of Harry Potter along with Hermoine’s wand, we decided to create an image of Lyra as a future student of Hogwarts.

Mom sitting in awe of her new daughter. This was right before their dog Ellie and two cats, Comet and Rocket joined her in the window seat. Mom is a veterinarian, so they have lots of pets. Their other dog Nova and cat Cactus were off doing their own thing during our photography session.

Wrapped up in a swaddle, Lyra was just taking in all that was going on. Surrounded by these beautiful roses, she is just adorable.

Cuddling their sleeping little girl, Mom and Dad were so adorable together. They’ve been best friends since the beginning of college and didn’t figure out that they were perfect for each other until it was almost too late (she was leaving the country to attend vet school). But at the 11th hour, they decided to make it work and have now grown into a family.

This quilt was a gift that they receivedĀ at their wedding. It was made with their wedding colors and meant to keep them warm in their marriage. Now they are sharing it with little Lyra.

With perfectly fluffy cheeks and the most adorable lips you’ve ever seen, Lyra is a perfect angel.

The baby clothing that Lyra is lying on are the garments that her Dad and grandfather came home from the hospital in.

So completely new, you can still see the heel-stick on Lyra’s foot. I pray you keep growing and doing beautifully for your sweet parents.

If you would like your newborn photographer to customize your newborn session for your family, contact me today. I’m happy to work with your ideas and create beautiful heirlooms for your family.
