Luca [Newborn]

Mr. Luca - I have known his mama since we were kids! Our moms were very close friends and her and her twin brother were in the same grade as my little brother! When Gabbie reached out to me about capturing her newborn session I was sooo excited and honored… and when he came in, he did soooo good! And how adorable are his parents!?

Olivia [Newborn]

Little Miss Olivia! I have a questionnaire I send out to all my moms when they book to get an idea of colors they want, if there are any specific props or poses they want me to try and accomplish or anything they want to bring to their session. Mom said that she loved the naked poses but she wasnt a huge fan of baby being naked and also really liked outfits. Little miss was pretty content when they arrived so I knocked out a couple naked images before putting her in an outfit, then added an outfit, did wrapped/props and then did their family images in an outfit. Mama is also wearing a dress from my client closet and is always an option for your session!

Check out more from Little Miss Olivia’s session.

Charlotte [Newborn]

Mom + Dad had booked a full newborn session which includes my naked (beanbag), wrapped/prop, and family/sibling poses. I send out a questionnaire for all my parents to fill out to give me an idea of their overall vision for their session. Mom requested my macrame swing prop and sometimes, baby takes a while to settle. SO! I asked her when she arrived if she would be okay with a mostly wrapped session, then family with an outfit and end with the swing so we can take as much time as possible to get the swing prop. Not only did the outfit with family end up AMAZING, the she did so good in the swing too!

Check out some of my favorites from the session!

Lily [Smash Cake]

When mama reached out about doing Lily’s smash cake session, she wanted something neutral, simple and maybe with florals. I had her go through my Instagram and send me a couple different sessions I have done so I could get an idea of what to throw together for her, and we landed on florals, with a honeycomb theme. I generally provide the outfits and the cake as well as create the set based on your choice of theme or inspo BUT mama brought this little dress and it was absolutely perfect for the theme.

Check out some more of her session!

Tiana [Maternity]

When mama first reached out, she originally was looking at just booking a newborn session. However, after we went over all the bundles, we were able to squeeze them in for a maternity + newbie bundle. Which I am sooo glad we were able to make it work. They absolutely killed it and mama to be is absolutely stunning.

Buuuut lets touch base on the maternity + newbie bundle for a minute. This is probably one of my most sold bundles BECAUSE you get to capture your maternity session as an add on to your newborn session and it includes 8 digital images! This allows you to capture and forever remember the short period of time of you growing a human, but save most of your budget for your newborn session.

Also, can we talk about this SUNRISE sunshine! Ugh! Im obsessed. More sunrise sessions please.

BUT enjoy some of their favorite images from their gallery!

Casey [Full Newborn]

Sweet baby Casey did so well for her session. These 2021 and 2022 babies have been HARD to say the least but little Casey was a dream, literally. Mom and dad were so chill and easy to work with and allowed me to just do my thing and gave them time to relax.

I always try and give mom and dad some time to recharge and work with an assistant most of the time because having three tiny humans myself, it is so nice to just allow parents to have some time to not worry about caring for a tiny human for a couple hours. A time for them to just hang out and reconnect a little bit. Have conversations about things they need to discuss that doesn’t involve who’s turn it is to change the diaper or make a bottle.

When I tell you Casey was a DREAM to work with, I think we had her entire session knocked out in about 2 hours. I always prepare my parents to stay at least 2-3 hours in the event we have a lot of feeding breaks and settling with baby, but Casey was sooo good. We got through 2 blanket colors (4 poses), 4 wraps/props, parent poses AND an outfit at the end.

Newborn sessions are where my heart lies and even some of the fussiest babies make me love my job, but every once in a while when I get a really good dreamy, sleepy baby, it just makes this job even more enjoyable.
