Weston's Newborn Portraits


Shortly beyond the skyline of Winston-Salem, North Carolina is a quaint country town. There's a local produce store on the corner, a log cabin, a field, and then my friend Yocelim's house!

We met when our babies were taking their first steps at Juxtaposition Dance Studio.

I turned into her gravel driveway and parked by the chicken coop. She opened the door to her country home with a newborn in her arms. I was so excited to meet Weston!

Yocelim has such a gift for creating a welcoming home. Details in every corner express the love she shares for her family.

I asked how her oldest, Francesca is doing with her new baby brother. She said, "They love each other. When she wakes up in the morning, she turns over and says good morning to him. Then they lovingly stare at each other."

But of course, they have their hilarious moments as well.

As baby Weston started to fuss, Yocelim whispered endearing spanish words to comfort him. It was so sweet to witness.

He was immediately comforted by her sweet mama magic. Everyone joined in for family snuggles on the bed.

How cute are her rings! They say the names of her children.
