Ava Claire arrived on November 20th, and Grace & Lewy are already settling into parenthood so beautifully. I visited their home just before Christmas to capture these sweet early moments. Ava wore a classic red plaid dress, perfect for the season, and we photographed her by the Christmas tree featuring a custom ornament with her tiny handprint.

For her one-month photos, Ava wore a pink sweater with her name on the front—a special piece Grace & Lewy plan to use each month during her first year to see how much she grows. Their sweet pup, Ziggy, joined in too, adding a few kisses and making the session even more special.
