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 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 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 MorePrior to becoming a full time photographer, I worked at Micron here in the valley and that is when I met Christina and her husband Alex. I hadn’t seen them since I left my job at Micron over 3 years ago and so I was so happy when Christina contacted me and asked if I would take newborn photos for their 2nd baby boy.
Read MoreAs a mom of two boys, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for baby boys, so it was an honor to meet the Mauchley family and their sweet baby boy, Alexander.
Read MoreIt’s not uncommon for newborns to be a little fussy during their newborn photoshoot, but that was NOT the case for Dally. She was cozy and content and slept peacefully the entire time!
Read MoreWhen Amanda contacted me for newborn photography and told me she had just had their FOURTH GIRL I was thrilled. As a boy mama, it is so fun for me to meet families with girls. Baby Avilee was so adorable and her older sisters were so sweet and caring towards her.
Read MoreAfter her parents snowy maternity shoot, I couldn’t wait to meet this sweet baby girl. Gia Elizabeth made her appearance promptly, on her due date, and I had the honor of meeting and photographing her when she was just 12 days old.
Read MoreWhen I first arrived to the Jared family’s home for their son Blake’s newborn photos, I was warmly greeted by their golden retriever. As much as she tried to steal the show, there just was no competition with the adorable baby Blake.
Read MoreOne aspect of having a baby during the pandemic that can be so hard is potentially not having relatives or friends able to come visit and meet the baby or help out mom and dad. I have had quite a few families recently contact me about getting newborn photos taken so that they not only have photos of baby as a newborn, but also as a way to introduce baby to family and friends who may not be able to come visit.
Read MoreI had the honor of photographing this sweet baby boy when he was just 3 days old in his family’s home in Nampa, Idaho.
Read MoreAugust 1st of this year my adorable niece Quincy Hope made her EARLY appearance. I was supposed to be there when she was born, but missed her by about 2 weeks! Thankfully, I still got to make the trip and take these sweet photos of her and the family.
Read MoreAfter meeting his parents during their maternity session earlier this year, it was so fun to finally meet Reece. He was the perfect baby during his session, sleeping through most of it, and waking up just long enough to get a few sweet shots with his eyes open. Isn’t he just the cutest!?
Read MoreI had the privilege of photographing Alistair when he was just ten days old. He did great through his session, and slept through most of it after he had a full belly! My favorite moment was when he “smiled” at me as he was resting his cheek on his mom’s shoulder.
Read MoreI first met Trent and Lauren about seven years ago. The three of us were new volunteers as the 6th grade small group leaders for our church youth group, which Brian was also serving in at the time. At the time Trent and Lauren had been married for 4ish years.
Read MoreAfter the Pitocin was started, I wasn’t aware of time, but wholly focused on getting through each contraction. I had a lot of back pain with contractions, so even though Kristi wanted me to rest, laying on my back was out of the question.
Read MoreOne of the many wonders of a photograph is its ability to freeze time. I would argue that there is never a more applicable situation to want to freeze time than in those first few days after your child’s birth. Not only do they change so fast, but your memory of those first few days can be so fleeting.
Read MoreLyla’s in home newborn session was such a joy to photograph. I was so excited to meet this little one! Her mama, Ashley, and I met at work, and we became fast friends when I found out I was pregnant as well…
