So sweet, so little, yet such a huge miracle … isn’t that what babies really are? Yes, babies are absolute miracles of life and we are honored to photograph and create baby art. I have been photographing babies for 9 years now and they never cease to amaze me. Each and every baby is unique, different and precious. No two newborn portrait sessions are ever the same because no two babies are ever the same.
I mentor other photographers and often they ask for a step-by-step game plan for newborn photography. I understand the need for structure, but as a newborn photographer you have to learn to adjust the portrait session as needed. We always review the many tried and true methods to newborn photography, and definitely the many safety guidelines to follow always, but every baby is different and every newbron photo shoot will be different. Each baby will have preferences (like wrapped vs unwrapped, positions, etc…) and we allow baby to naturally settle into the portrait session to provide an organic, natural, beautiful look of custom styled baby portraits.
This little sweet pea, pictured above, was welcomed into the studio around one week of age and nestled into such a sweet sleepy pattern. We were able to capture so much baby goodness and this is one of my many favorites.
