I was lucky enough to work with TWO gorgeous baby girls this week, and I loved every minute of them both!
Shooting newborns is amazing! It's an honor to be their chosen photographer. It's a joy to spend time with them and their new parents. It's a blessing to have the opportunity to capture them at their tiniest and most vulnerable.
Yeah, newborn photography ROCKS!
Anyway, Olivia's mommy asked if she could take some pictures of her sweetie's session, and I said, "Absolutely ..... if you'll share them with me!" :) So now here I am, sharing them with
you!
{Disclaimer: I have no makeup on, my hair is a mess, and I have baby pee on my shirt. But hey, this is how I usually look on a day-to-day basis, minus the baby pee!} Introducing Olivia's Sneak Peek with some behind the scene shots:
I spend a
lot of time at newborn sessions crouching and soothing.
When Baby gets into a deeper sleep, then I start arranging and perfecting little details. (Oh yeah, that's poop on the blanket. No worries, it happens every time! Everything's washable.)
Still soothing and patiently waiting for that heavy sleep. :)
I'm a smiling fool during these sessions. Their sweet little noises and faces make my heart melt!
New pose. V-E-R-Y slowly, I remove my hands, the blanket, and anything else used to keep her comfy and how I want her. See my look of concentration? ;)
Here's the resulting shot:
Sometimes I recruit help. Here's Olivia's sweet hands-on daddy:
And the shot:
She's nice and sleepy, so now I'm just gently adjusting her ... and waiting ...
I LOVE those lips!
Blocking the light from her eyes, while patting her to sleep and keeping her legs in the right position.
Beautiful blanket Great-Grandma made:
P, thank you so much for taking and sharing these photos with me!
Thank you for allowing me to be the one to capture this incredible time in Olivia's life.
And thank you for making me realize that I really should be wearing makeup to client sessions! ;)
