When I’ve received an inquiry to photography Isabel’s Newborn mini session in December, I was very excited. I love photographing Newborn mini sessions because it allows me enough time to photograph babies wrapped/swaddled up both on the blankets and in props.

So when Isabel arrived to the world, her mom had many requests and the number 1 request for her daughter’s session was to photograph her using the moon bowl. So I was excited to capture her daughter in blue.

The colors that were used for her session were rose, neutral colors and blue. For the beanbag/blanket wrapped pictures, I chose rose and really loved the color that I recently bought. Its a very muted but classic Rose color that compliments all skin tones. I first wrapped Isabel in both an underwrap and an pretty warm wrap to get her very sleepy. I used both headbands and bonnets to provide variety. Every mom wants their daughter photographed in headbands but bonnets on babies gives that it different, peaceful look.

Then I photographed her in the moon bowl with a blue and starry backdrop, using both a blue headband and using a sleepy cap, with a sparkly stone headband on top.

Lastly I photographed Isabel in a wooden brown bowl against a wood backdrop that I love using for all newborn photo shoots. The brown and the pink/rose tones really compliment each other everytime.
