Maple Harlow : Newborn Portraits : San Diego, California

Meet Maple Harlow. 
Firstly, her name is so beautifully unique. 
I met her mom several months before her arrival into this world. She knew around the time that Maple would grace the world with her presence, but knew it all depended on if and when she was ready. And sure enough, I received a message on the Sunday of her estimated arrival hearing she is here, healthy and most excitedly that her mother did it completely natural. Truly beautiful. 

Just two days later, I was down at their home in San Diego, California. We spent the afternoon playing around the house. Finding that which Maple loved (being wrapped tightly in her parents arms) and that which wasn't so much her favorite (being naked on the table with an octopus hat). 
Eiter way, it was such a beautiful exchange! 

Thank you for allowing me to send these intimate moments with you and your family. 
I feel truly blessed. enjoy.
