This newborn session was a little different for us. We normally spend most of the session taking solo photos of the baby and take only a few family shots. Stephanie and James requested before they came in to focus a bit more on family photos with their son James and their latest addition, which is exactly what we did. We really had a lot of fun with some new and different poses with them. The photos of James and the baby are some of the cutest, most adorable photos ever. James is going to be the greatest big brother.

Introducing Gabriel

Our newborn sessions are quickly becoming one of our more popular sessions. We were pleasantly surprised to have someone generously gift one of our newborn sessions to her friend, Allison. We sent her a beautifully packaged gift certificate before her baby was born and checked in frequently with progress on the baby’s due date. We were delighted when her daughter was finally born, though I’m sure not more than Allison and her husband.  Her daughter was about 7 days old for her shoot and adorable. She brought in a ton of super cute headbands for us to use throughout the session (and we tried to use most of them). We also had an opportunity to use some of our new props and blankets, like our yellow floral bucket, our purple textured blanket, and our pink fuzzy. It made for some amazing and colorful photos.

This was an incredibly fun newborn session for us. Jillian & Ryan are huge sports fans and of course they plan on passing that on to their son. To celebrate their love of sports with their son, they brought in a bunch of baby-sized sports paraphernalia and we took some amazing photos. It was a great personal touch to the portraits. He was a trooper throughout the session and slept for most of the shoot and we even got a few smiles.  We also got some great shots with Grandma! We look forward to seeing their whole family in the future for more amazing shoots.

Finally, a girl! After all the boys we’ve had recently it’s nice to break out the pink newborn props again. Gabriela & Thomas have been here many times with their son Ivan and were very excited to have a precious little girl. They brought some props of their own and we were able to use them in one of our new sets. The stuffed animals and baby alike sat very well and looked very cute in our new shelf set. We also added some new blankets to our collection and absolutely LOVE how they photographed. Branching out and trying new things is always a fun experience, and we had a very fun time during the shoot. Little Theodora was sound a sleep but full of smiles as she dreamed about milk. We can’t wait to see Theodora throughout the years just like we’ve seen her big brother Ivan as he’s grown. It’s always a pleasure to have them in the studio.

And the boys keep coming. Most of our newborn sessions lately have been boys (not that we are complaining). It’s actually been a lot of fun and some of our clients bring in their own props. We love when clients bring in handmade or sentimental items because it makes the sessions more personal. Mark & Amanda are some of our regular clients. They came in when they had their first son Declan for a newborn session and also did our First Year Of Life package with him as well. They brought some of the same props (like a hand made blanket, a page boy cap, and an old baseball glove) they used during his shoot to their new son’s shoot as well.  He also had some of his own new props-like a personalized hat. We look forward to seeing their whole family in the future for more amazing shoots.
