Newborn Ruby | Charlottesville, VA Newborn Photographer

Oh, how I love a theme.  And, well, when your new baby daughter is named “Ruby”, you just know a red blanket is going to come out.

And, yup!  It sure did!

And Ruby wore it well.  She was a wonderful sleeper, and very calm and happy…her big brother Jonas, was at school, so it was a nice, relaxed session held at my home.

Ruby’s mom, Darlene, is a phenomenal creator of quilts, clothing, and many other things.  You can check out her blog, “Natural Violet“, for more of her creations.

Expected with life with a newborn AND a pre-schooler, Darlene was a bit tired, but a complete champ.  She was so much fun to talk to while I settled Ruby.  Ruby, too, was a complete champ.  Takes after her mama!  She slept very well, and allowed us some varieties in our setups!

Love the yawning face!  After all, this is what we often see from our newborns!

Ruby has a great head of hair, too!

Ah, the elusive newborn smile!  Makes the heart melt.

Jonas came by with their dad, Chris, after our session, so we could get a family photo as well.

Congratulations to the B family!  I’m so delighted to have been able to capture portraits of your new addition!
