Levi, 10 days | Virginia Tech Newborn

Meet Levi!

10 days old, and already a Hokie Fan!

Levi’s parents are huge Virginia Tech fans (and I’ll admit, I’m a bit of one as well, as my husband went to Virginia Tech!).

The last we heard of young Levi, he was still in his mom’s belly (see our maternity photoshoot here!), and his big brothers were awaiting his arrival (as were Stacey and Brian).  I was excited, waiting for Levi to come, so we could do his newborn photoshoot.  Stacey is especially crafty, and had made a few bonnets and other things, but even she admitted it was easier to go on Etsy and finding a Hokie bird to use in the photoshoot (that you’ll see Levi cradling above).  However, it was fun following up with her on Facebook and seeing all the various things she created.  This woman, when she “nests”, she does it right!

Ian and Eric got a break from school to come get some images with their new baby brother.  It took a bit of work, but believe it or not, no headswaps or any special editing tricks to get this sweet shot of the boys together.

Levi was a great sleeper, but I love to get a few awake shots when they are happy…look at those soulful eyes!

And of course, the sleepy shots, and what makes me happiest:  grabbing that newborn dreamy smile.

Here’s an example of one of Stacey’s props…a cute bear bonnet.  Don’t let Levi’s expression fool you, he was just yawning!

And never forget to grab shots of those details.  The fingers & toes…

And sweet lips.

And we were lucky to have such a seasonable autumn day, to grab a few family shots outdoors.

Congratulations to the D family on their 3rd boy, and welcome to the world, Levi!
