Asher's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's best Newborn Photographers

We welcomed our second newborn to the studio since our training in Wichita and it happened to be this cutie, Asher!  He had so much hair, but it was a very light brown/blonde! And he was very sleepy, making him very cuddly and so sweet!  We immediately welcomed him and his two older siblings, and their parents! Our two newborn assistants worked closely with Asher to soothe him and get him swaddled up for the first part of our session.  Thankfully he had a blowout before we started, making it less risky to go without the diaper! His brother and sister were super cute, too and they were cooperative and helped us get some unique shots of all three of them.  We loved this little family, and Asher’s session was great! Check it out!

T.H. Peterson:  How did you and your family feel when you found out you were expecting?

Rachel:  We were in shock at first because we took fertility medication to conceive both of our older children and I had always been told that I wouldn’t be able to have babies without the help of medication. After the shock wore off, we were so incredibly happy and excited!!! Asher has been such a huge blessing to our family!

T.H. P.:   How did your other children react to seeing Asher for the first time?

Rachel:  Ansley has been obsessed with him since she first met him. She constantly wants to hold him and tells him how cute he is and how much she loves him daily.  Abel wasn’t extremely interested at first, but now that we are getting settled in, he has been asking to hold him more and always kisses his head goodnight. They both have done such a great job welcoming Asher home!

T.H. P.:   How do you manage being parents to three small children? 

Rachel:  We are slowly getting adjusted to a new routine and working on our time management! We’ve also been trying to focus on giving each kiddo their own individual time as well as having fun family nights. Our lives are very busy, but so much fun!! We wouldn’t have it any other way!

T.H. P.:   What kind of food did you crave when you were pregnant?  What foods did you avoid?

Rachel:  I had several cravings throughout this pregnancy, but I can’t remember any foods i avoided aside from the typical things that they suggest you avoid while pregnant.  My cravings were 2% milk with ice, homemade cinnamon rolls, apples with caramel, jalapeño chips and brownie sundaes.

T.H. P.:   What was your favorite part about your newborn session with us?  

Rachel:  I loved how laid back it was and that nothing felt rushed in any way. The atmosphere was relaxed and Asher seemed so cozy and comfortable throughout the whole session. It was stress free and fun to just sit and watch.  I was excited to also get a couple of pictures with all three of our babies together!!
