Newborn Baby Boy

I had another newborn baby boy in my studio and I was exctied to photograph their family and his newborn photos.

Mom wanted her session to have warm neutrals, green and blues incorported into her session and I was excited to use all of those colors together. For their family session, I used a creamy pecan backdrop, which is perfect to coordinate with any color. I photographed her immediate family first and then the mom and dad with their newborn baby boy, parents individually and lastly, their 2 year old sister with her baby brother.

Then I moved on to photograph her newborn son to pose on the blanket. The blanket was cream and he wore a sage romper with pockets. He was able to stay asleep for the majority of his poses and he was photographed beautifully.

After photographing him on the blanket, I photographed him in a round bowl and in a moon shaped bowl (those two props are the most requested for boys).

My most recent Newborn Session

When my client emailed me to photograph her Maternity Session, I was disappointed since I was booked and unavailable for her session (good thing for a business person, but still disappointed for me personally). However she wanted to book her newborn session with me and I was really excited.

Mom had her baby a week past her expected date and we coordinated a date to photograph her family for their newborn photo shoot.

For the Family photos, they came dressed really nicely (mom was in a beautiful sequin grey dress, oldest was dressed in a white top and warm plaid A line skirt and Dad was dressed in a nice button down shirt with slacks. All of their family pictures came out beautifully and I had a great time photographing my client’s daughter for the sibling pictures.

After Family photos, I concentrated on photographing their newborn baby boy. Mom requested the colors of burnt orange, blues and warm neutrals. I was very excited when she requested burnt orange/rust because I usually get requests for warm neutrals or blue/pink colors. And then mom came in with a warm tweed suspender newborn outfit and it worked perfectly with my rust blanket that I had planned to use for her son’s blanket poses.

After I photographed her son on the blanket, I photographed him in a round bowl and a moon bowl.

Bradley's Newborn Session

I was soo excited when Bradley’s mom told me that she was expecting. I photographed their first baby in 2019 and was honored to be able to photograph Bradley a few years later.

Since they were expecting a boy this year, I was pretty amped up to use alot of blues and neutral colors.

I first photographed family pictures so that their oldest can run around after and the parents can relax. Their oldest did great and loved the fact that she brought her Blues Clues stuffie with her and be part of the pictures. I’m sure that when she gets older, she’ll look at these pictures and feel nostalgia for her stuffed toy.

i was also happy that I got to photograph Abby with her brother for their sibling photos. She was happy to be in the pictures and gave her baby brother some kisses.

After the family and sibling pictures were done, I got my props out so that I can photograph Bradley in them. I used my flokati rug, heart bowl, bed and regular round bowl with different types of backdrops. After about 2 hours of taking pictures, Bradley needed a feeding.

After Bradley was settled, I put Bradley in an cute little outfit and took pictures of him on the beanbag/blanket.

Noah's Newborn Photo Shoot

Noah had his newborn session scheduled at around 1 months old and he did amazingly. I chose alot of neutral colors (warm tans and medium blues) to stylize his photo shoot. Even though those colors are pretty basic, they compliment every skin tone and can be paired with any type of prop.

I first photographed Noah’s mom and grandmother and they were ESTATIC! You can see it on their parent poses. When his mother said that he smiles for every picture, I didn’t realize that he actually smiles the whole time. It was beautiful.

Then I photographed Noah in props and he looked soo angelic. I love using bonnets and wraps because they keep the babies content while maintaining that classic look to their images.

After props, I photographed Noah for his blanket pose and even though he was slightly awake, the eye contact and his smiles were soo precious.

Even though newborn sessions are traditionally photographed between when babies are between 5-14 days old, photographing babies when they’ve gotten at 1 months old is such an amazing experience and love the types of pictures that I can capture at that age.
