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 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 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 MoreI absolutely love doing pregnancy announcement shoots! I love getting to be a part of such an exciting time for a couple or family as they share that they are expecting.
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 MoreBeing a boy mom, I can’t help but be a little giddy any time I get to do a photoshoot with a baby girl. All the girly stuff is so fun for me and Vera’s shoot was the perfect dose of girl!
Read MoreI was so pleased when Ashley reached out to me to do some updated family photos of them with their now 6th month old son, Alex! It felt like just yesterday I was doing his newborn session, but here he was a smiley, interactive and adorable 8 month old.
Read MoreSpring in Boise is always a welcome change after a LOOOONG cold winter. Spring this year brought a number of maternity and newborn shoots for me and I couldn’t be more thrilled to capture this sweet time for these families.
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.
