Aydan came to see me at about seven weeks new. He was an absolute dream to photograph with his adorable face and long lashes! I loved that his family brought along some personal items for a few shots - including very special “Champ” boxing shorts to pay homage to his mommy’s late step-father who was called Champ. I absolutely love the tiny boxing gloves too! Mama Said Knock You Out! Daddy Said Knock You Out!
Emery is One! - First Birthday Session
I love a theme, and Emery had a great one - Apple Pie! The reason behind it is especially sweet. When Emery’s parents were expecting her, they didn’t know if they were having a son or daughter, so they referred to their baby-to-be as Sweetie Pie. After Emery was born, they continued their pie theme with her monthly pictures, as Mommy baked a different pie for each month. So, of course, when it came to choosing a First Birthday theme, it was obviously going to be pie! An apple pie was just right for her Fall birthday.
Happy 1st Birthday, Emery!
Natalia Joan - Newborn Session
I love putting elements of nature into my styled sessions, and when the baby is born during Spring, there are so many gorgeous stems to choose from! Natalia’s mommy requested purple, so a few fresh lilacs did the trick. Purple also happens to be the favorite color of Big Sis. After this sweetheart got into a deep sleep, we switched her over to some coral with a contrasting bow to get a different look.
Welcome to the world, darling Natalia!
Elliana is One! - First Birthday Session
It was a joy to work with Elliana and her mommy for her first birthday session! I loved the daisy theme they carried out, as well as the milk bath! Milk baths are a super fun way to photograph a baby for their first birthday. A small amount of milk combined with lukewarm water creates a dreamy, opaque background to really highlight baby’s features. It also gives us a chance to add some fun, little floatable props like flowers, leaves, or pinecones to the mix. Lastly, it bounces light onto baby’s face to get some really angelic shots, which was easy to accomplish with this one as Ellie was all smiles!
Happy 1st Birthday, Sweetheart!
