Sasha and Jay just welcomed their newest addition into the family and wanted a quiet newborn family session in their home. Their little one was sleeping when I arrived, but he woke up so that he could grace me with his presence. And what a joyous presence he is! We spent the afternoon cuddling, kissing, and laughing with him. He was so tiny and so brand new that I pretty much had to suppress my squeals whenever I got to hold him; he is one beautiful tiny cherub.
The Lichtenfelds moved from Chicago, Illinois to Austria after Alexandra got a job at an international school here in Vienna. And from the conversation we had, they have been loving it ever since their arrival. Kai, who is five years old, has settled into a kindergarten here and is just a rambunctious bundle of fun! We had fun running around and watching him do cartwheels (brace yourself Olympics of 2028, he's gonna take you by storm!)
I was referred to Ashley's large family by Chelsea of Love Vienna Photography. Chelsea was going to India on a business trip and wasn't able to photograph this amazing family of fifteen so she referred them to me. Usually I approach most large family portraits with a bit of apprehension. You have to make sure everyone is strategically placed and staggered correctly. Then you have to make sure everyone is looking at your camera. Then you have to make sure everyone is smiling and not blinking. And when you have to do that all at the same time for a bunch of people it can be a little overwhelming. But this family was the dream team.
