Everybody loves photos of the newborn baby sleeping sweetly or looking contentedly awake, but how difficult is it to actually achieve those photos and are there tricks to getting the baby to lay so contentedly? As a lifestyle newborn photographer, and a mom to three, I have learned a few things over the years that have helped me in my newborn sessions and I am sharing those with you here today.
Read MoreI first met the McGrath family for their maternity photos on a chilly January day. They welcomed a beautiful baby girl in March and we did their newborn photos in their newly remodeled home.
Read MoreJust when you are going to be an all girl family, you are surprised with a baby boy to add to the family! This family waited until the birth to find out the gender of their baby, and even though mama was convinced it would be another girl, all three of the sisters said they thought it would be a boy and OH BOY they were right!
Read MoreIf I could have a winter full of newborn sessions where I can stay out of the cold and get to snuggle all the newborn babes, I would be a happy photographer. Corbin’s newborn shoot was no exception.
Read MoreThere is something especially sweet about a newborn session during Christmas and this one was no exception. Big brother was so sweet with baby brother and loved getting to hold him for some of the pictures.
Read MoreThis was such a sweet newborn session and I loved Noah’s national park themed nursery. Congratulations to this sweet family!
Read MoreI got to meet this tiny peanut on a Thursday afternoon, exactly one month after I met the Jones’ for their maternity shoot. We just barely sneaked in some maternity photos before sweet Josephine made her appearance.
Read MoreThis family was so sweet and I had the privilege of getting to photograph not only their newborn session, but also their pregnancy announcement/gender reveal and maternity sessions. Although I have to admit, this session was my favorite of the three because nothing beats the sweetest newborn cuddles.
Read MoreI feel so privileged to have several families that return to me year after year and sometimes multiple times per year to photograph all of their precious family milestones, and this family is one of those.
Read MoreI met sweet baby Hayden and his parents, Makenzie and Matt, on a beautiful Tuesday morning. I was obsessed with his hair right off the bat and he was the perfect little angel, sleeping during the whole shoot.
Read MoreJustus Jordan Tucker is here! After making his mom wait 11 days past her due date, he was worth the wait. He is such a cutie and his big brothers are completely smitten with him.
Read MoreCurious what an in-home lifestyle session is like? In this blog post, I go over what happens at a lifestyle newborn photography session and a few tips to prepare.
Read MoreThe Dawson family welcomed their baby boy, Eli, back in September and he is a sweetheart. He was wide awake during his session, but totally content and so we were able to catch lots of photos of his eyes open and even a few smiles.
Read MoreThis past summer I photographed a handful of lifestyle newborn session outdoors and I fell in love! When the weather is warm and nice, this is a beautiful option. This session we almost got rained out, but after we bumped the time, we were able to work around the rain.
Read MoreBaby Jax was born to my husband’s cousin, Becca, over the summer, and we are so excited to welcome another boy to the family. I always feel a bit of camaraderie with families of two boys since I have two boys (until baby girl arrives in the spring!).
Read MoreWhen Brianna contacted me about newborn photos, I asked if they knew if they were having a boy or a girl. She quickly responded that they were keeping it a surprise until the birth, since it would be their last baby.
Read MoreAs a lifestyle newborn photographer, I am used to photographing my subject in all types of settings and often with little light. Prior to walking into a client’s home for a newborn session, all I know for sure is that I am going to make beautiful photos of the growing family in their home, regardless of what their home looks like or how much light it has.
Read MoreI woke up bright and early around 6:30 the Saturday morning before my due date, and after going to the restroom, I thought my water might be leaking (that was how my labor started with Asher).
Read MoreWe started off George’s newborn shoot with some shots of his twin sisters. They were so excited to show me their room and their stuffed animals, and so I took the opportunity to take some shots of them in their room.
Read MoreThe Anderson Family welcomed their first baby girl, Leni June, in May. I had the honor of photographing her lifestyle newborn session when she was two weeks old.
