Would you just look at this gorgeous baby girl! Lucy was absolutely perfect at our newborn session, she could not have been more of an angel. I truly loved working with her parents as well!

One of my favorite aspects of capturing newborns and their family, is that I get the chance to make moms feel beautiful even when their bodies are in that limbo stage. As a mom to two, I have been right there. When you first give birth to your baby, your body is in such a weird stage! You’re not pregnant anymore but you still have a little bump so the clothes that you had while pregnant don’t necessarily work and then your old clothes before you were pregnant don’t work either.

I love that I can provide a full wardrobe for my new moms that are flattering and you don’t have to go out and purchase an outfit that you may or may not wear again because of your changing body! I also pride myself on knowing the right poses and angles that are the most flattering! My goal as your newborn and family photographer is to make sure that not only your brand new baby looks perfect and amazing while capturing all of their brand new details, but to make you as parents feel beautiful too. Those first few weeks are tough we all know that! But I’m gonna do my very best to make you look your very best!

This sweet baby girl could not be any cuter!! And would you just look at her beautiful family :) Her big brother Grayson could seriously be a child model and he was so sweet with his brand new baby sister. I have such an honor being able to capture the sweet moments of a family welcoming a new baby.!

What makes a perfect Newborn Session? It’s all about the details!

I love capturing those super detailed images such as tiny toes, and up-close lips, as well as those darling back wrinkles and perfect eye lashes! Babies grow so quickly and having images of those tiny details really capture those memories for a lifetime! Patience is the key to getting these perfect shots! Lots of patience and focusing on every little detail.

Newborn sessions are a lot more work than they might appear. There is a lot that needs to happen in the background in order to produce those perfect shots.

Keeping the baby asleep is essential to a smooth session and in order to do that, a lot needs to happen. I keep my studio very warm for newborns and have a heater close by, especially for those naked shots. I play white noise, keep the lights dim, and have a lavender essential oil diffuser going. All of these steps really create the perfect environment for a nap! I admit we occasional have parents fall asleep as well while they have a break from caring for their newborn!

To keep the baby sleeping we have to go slow and keep them very comfortable at all times! This includes changing poses or outfits, everything is done very slow, all while keeping the little one safe and cozy.

I use layered blankets, supportive pillows, different lenses, lighting, backgrounds, and props during every session. Lots of planning happens to ensure the session goes as smooth as possible and we set the perfect mood. I prepare as much as possible before the client arrives, again it’s all in the details!

Focusing on the tiny details is what really elevates the photos. That’s why newborn sessions can take as long as they do. We are on the baby's time! But gosh is it totally worth it for amazing shots like the ones below!

I love what I do! I pride myself on making your baby and you as comfortable as possible throughout the whole process! If you haven’t booked a newborn session yet, I’d love to hear from you! I can’t get enough of these babies!

I really wanted to keep this precious baby boy! He was so beautiful and so cuddly! I mean…just look at that hair and those cheeks! I just can’t!!!

The most common color to use with boys is, of course, blue. But I really love using neutral colors like grays and creams. They really complimented his skin tone and that beautiful dark hair! I always ask my clients if they have color preferences so that I can accommodate those, however it’s also so much fun when I am given free rein to be creative!

This was simply a perfect newborn session with this little charmer! He was a dream to work with and we were able to capture some great images of this sleepy boy!

If you like what you see and have a new little one of your own, please contact me! I’d love to work with you and capture some precious memories!

Oh my goodness this sweet boy was nothing short of a dream at his newborn session! Just look at his perfect little face :) And I can say this with full confidence, he was absolutely the most calm baby I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing.

Don’t even get me started on his sweet parents! They were just as much as a pleasure as sweet baby Grayson was! (I even got to sneak in some cuddles with him at our ordering appointment!)

They all get an A+ in my book and I am so happy to share his beautiful gallery!

Look at this beautiful baby girl I had in the studio for a newborn session this week! She was so darling, and this sweet family was so much fun to work with!

I always like to prepare my families before each newborn sessions by sending them a preparation guide. It includes tips to ensure the best experience possible! Some of my suggestions include bringing a pacifier, even if the baby isn’t currently taking one. This is a great way to soothe the baby while we are getting them into different poses. I also advise parents to feed the baby right before they arrive for their session and try to keep the baby awake as much as possible the morning of. Having a sleepy, full baby makes the shoot go so smooth and allows us to get those perfect sleepy baby images like you can see below!

This family did a great job preparing for the session and you can tell it paid off with some adorable pictures they can cherish forever!
