The month of September seemed to have brought an explosion of beautiful newborns into this world – I photographed 11 September babies in 2 weeks! I’m not sure what brought about this surge in newborn photography sessions, but I can’t complain about all the sweet little darlings I was lucky to meet during this time.

One of these sweeties was little Sabiene, born on September 26, two days after her due date. Her mom Chris didn’t mind – Sabiene arrived after only 2 minutes of pushing. Unlike her big sister, Klara, who took two and half hours of pushing after 68 hours of labor. Ouch. Although you absolutely cannot tell that either of these beauties ever caused their parents any strife.

I mean, just look at those gentle eyes and sweet smiles. Both girls are totally stunning.

And Chris and Jeremy couldn’t be more in love with their two beautiful daughters.

Chris shared with me the most touching story about Sabiene’s name. Her middle name, Rae, is in honor of her grandfather Raymond who had passed away earlier in the year. Also, the spelling of “biene” was chosen specifically for it’s German background. While Klara is affectionately referred to as “Little Lady Bug,” her little sister has been give the nickname, “Mein Kleine Biene”.

It’s German for “My Little Bee”.
