I met the Munoz family at the Mayfair Bazaar. With the arrival of baby Zoe, they became a family of five including mom Krissy, dad Alex, big brother Brenden, and middle sister, Leyla.

Before the shoot, Krissy and I talked a lot about what everyone should wear. Many times, post partum moms are anxious about their appearance in photographs because of all the physical changes that occur during pregnancy. I think this black ensemble looked great on Krissy and that new mama glow didn’t hurt either!

For the sibling photos, the girls were decked out in pink frills and bows. So girly and sweet!

Doesn’t Zoe make a perfect little ballerina?

Krissy loves purple so we had some fun styling Zoe on this soft eggplant-hued blanket.

Zoe apparently approved of the purple choice as well, giving us a giant sleepy grin in between modeling some fancy headwear!

For our final set up, Krissy requested my cherry blossom backdrop. This is quickly becoming a client favorite and it’s no wonder as it’s a truly beautiful piece. It was painted by local artist Emily Magone of LoveArtWillTravel. She based it off a photo I took while living in Japan when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. I love offering clients one-of-a-kind details like this.

During her pregnancy, Krissy was part of a group called the Village Class. The idea is that you share prenatal care and classes with other moms who are due the same month as you. I would have loved to be part of something like this while pregnant with my daughter as I’m sure the moms formed a special bond of friendship. As a result of this class, I was recommended to many of the other moms so you will see several other blog posts featuring babies from the Village Class. Lots more adorable newborn cuteness to come!
