Meet Baby Benjamin

I traveled to Benjamin’s home for his Mini Newborn Session and brought along some wintery props in white and green. We were able to use a plain wall in their home for family photos which saved space since I didn’t need to setup a background stand. It’s always my first choice to use a plain wall if possible, it’s just so much easier! I love the white and hunter green with the darker wood for his photos. Definitely helps tell the story of a baby born in the winter. We also managed to get a photo with his big sister who isn’t quite two. Toddlers are always the hardest to predict when it comes to sibling photos, but we managed to get one! If you’re interested in an in-home newborn session please let me know. I do charge a small travel fee but I know it’s worth it for a lot of families.

Winter Maternity

We were really cutting it close for this maternity session…after a few rainouts we finally did the session the day before her planned c-section date! Luckily it didn’t rain during the session, but it did sprinkle on us as we finished up and headed to the parking lot. Mama-to-be was absolutely gorgeous and a joy to photograph. I had a great time working with her even in the limited options of a wintery backdrop. I did some scouting before she arrived looking for the best spots with color and texture for interesting backgrounds. I’m glad we stopped inside the greenhouse in the middle of our session to warm up a bit- a nice break from the winter chill. I’m excited to meet her baby girl real soon!

Christmas Baby Girl

When I did their maternity photo session last September we talked about using Christmas colors for their newborn Mini Session since she was due so close to Christmas. I don’t get to use dark red super often for newborn photos so it’s always fun to pull out holiday colors for a change! I was also excited when I found the frosted winter greenery at the store and knew it would look great with a white and red setup and I was right! We also included family photos which is an option in both Mini and Full Newborn Sessions. I really enjoyed using some wintery holiday setups, if trying to incorporate a season or holiday in your baby’s newborn photos is something you’re interested in please let me know!

Christmas Studio Minis

I only did a handful of Christmas Minis in my studio this year, but it turned out they were all boys! I used my tree background with faux snow and had a variety of props on hand including a small sled, red toy truck, and pinecones. Every kid is different so sometimes what works with one won’t work with the next so I find having a variety of options is best. I also try to have props available that babies can hold since it usually distracts them enough to sit still for a few min. The red truck is a pretty popular prop for a lot of kids so it finds its way into Christmas Mini Sessions pretty regularly! Nothing more fun than driving a truck around and making some good Vroom Vroom noises.

Meet Baby Ajooni

Baby Ajooni’s mom contacted me before her daughter’s birth and sent me some photos for inspiration for what she was looking for and I did my best to recreate the inspirational photos in a slightly different way. Rather than a basket I used my grapevine wreathe with some greenery and baby’s breathe which turned out really nice. Mom also asked for girly pink and purple colors so I pulled out a few options for her and absolutely LOVE the purple setup! So pretty with the white wood! If you have some inspirational photos I don’t mind if you send me them. Lots of times I don’t exactly recreate the photo but will pull out the elements that you really like in a slightly different way that’s unique for your baby.
