What makes a perfect Newborn Session? It’s all about the details!

I love capturing those super detailed images such as tiny toes, and up-close lips, as well as those darling back wrinkles and perfect eye lashes! Babies grow so quickly and having images of those tiny details really capture those memories for a lifetime! Patience is the key to getting these perfect shots! Lots of patience and focusing on every little detail.

Newborn sessions are a lot more work than they might appear. There is a lot that needs to happen in the background in order to produce those perfect shots.

Keeping the baby asleep is essential to a smooth session and in order to do that, a lot needs to happen. I keep my studio very warm for newborns and have a heater close by, especially for those naked shots. I play white noise, keep the lights dim, and have a lavender essential oil diffuser going. All of these steps really create the perfect environment for a nap! I admit we occasional have parents fall asleep as well while they have a break from caring for their newborn!

To keep the baby sleeping we have to go slow and keep them very comfortable at all times! This includes changing poses or outfits, everything is done very slow, all while keeping the little one safe and cozy.

I use layered blankets, supportive pillows, different lenses, lighting, backgrounds, and props during every session. Lots of planning happens to ensure the session goes as smooth as possible and we set the perfect mood. I prepare as much as possible before the client arrives, again it’s all in the details!

Focusing on the tiny details is what really elevates the photos. That’s why newborn sessions can take as long as they do. We are on the baby's time! But gosh is it totally worth it for amazing shots like the ones below!

I love what I do! I pride myself on making your baby and you as comfortable as possible throughout the whole process! If you haven’t booked a newborn session yet, I’d love to hear from you! I can’t get enough of these babies!

I really wanted to keep this precious baby boy! He was so beautiful and so cuddly! I mean…just look at that hair and those cheeks! I just can’t!!!

The most common color to use with boys is, of course, blue. But I really love using neutral colors like grays and creams. They really complimented his skin tone and that beautiful dark hair! I always ask my clients if they have color preferences so that I can accommodate those, however it’s also so much fun when I am given free rein to be creative!

This was simply a perfect newborn session with this little charmer! He was a dream to work with and we were able to capture some great images of this sleepy boy!

If you like what you see and have a new little one of your own, please contact me! I’d love to work with you and capture some precious memories!

Oh my goodness this sweet boy was nothing short of a dream at his newborn session! Just look at his perfect little face :) And I can say this with full confidence, he was absolutely the most calm baby I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing.

Don’t even get me started on his sweet parents! They were just as much as a pleasure as sweet baby Grayson was! (I even got to sneak in some cuddles with him at our ordering appointment!)

They all get an A+ in my book and I am so happy to share his beautiful gallery!

Look at this beautiful baby girl I had in the studio for a newborn session this week! She was so darling, and this sweet family was so much fun to work with!

I always like to prepare my families before each newborn sessions by sending them a preparation guide. It includes tips to ensure the best experience possible! Some of my suggestions include bringing a pacifier, even if the baby isn’t currently taking one. This is a great way to soothe the baby while we are getting them into different poses. I also advise parents to feed the baby right before they arrive for their session and try to keep the baby awake as much as possible the morning of. Having a sleepy, full baby makes the shoot go so smooth and allows us to get those perfect sleepy baby images like you can see below!

This family did a great job preparing for the session and you can tell it paid off with some adorable pictures they can cherish forever!

The only thing better than a cute newborn is TWO cute newborns! I had so much fun photographing these adorable twin boys! And of course, we had to get the whole family involved.

Working with twins can be double the trouble but these boys were great and gave us double the amount of cuteness! I was so thrilled with all the incredible shots we were able to get. They definitely made me and my assistant work for it, but in the end, we captured the sweetest cuddles, and were just delighted with the whole session! Check out those adorable animal hats!

I feel so blessed to have been able to capture images of this beautiful family. I even had the pleasure of shooting the mother’s maternity session! It is truly an honor to be able to follow along with my client’s families and watch them grow!

I loved working with this sweet family and their precious baby boy Beckham!

We always let the baby set the pace for newborn sessions. I never want to make the baby uncomfortable or push them too quickly. Our main priority is the safety of the baby but we also want them to be happy and sleep peacefully! This is why I keep my studio warm and even have a special heater for the baby. We play white noise and keep the lights dim. I also put lavender in my oil diffusor to help create a comforting and peaceful environment, perfect for sleepy babies! Sleepy babies make for an enjoyable newborn session for everyone involved!

What a joy it is to be around itty bitty babies all the time!! I’m pretty sure that as a young girl, I knew I wanted some sort of job with babies and children in some form. Little did I know then what gift I have now! I love documenting fresh new babies in their most fragile and tiny state. All of the newborn details that fade way faster than any of us mommas want.

Being a Villa Rica and Carrollton photographer that services Atlanta and surrounding areas, I adore it when I have newborn clients come in!

Please message today to schedule your session! It’s never too early in your pregnancy to get in!

One of my favorite families EVER had another baby for me to photograph and I couldn’t be happier!! Baby sister Jocelyn is the absolute cutest and looks so much like her big sis :) From her hair to her “cry” face, its almost like they copied and pasted! I can not wait to continue to watch her grow and change just like I got the privilege with her big sister Josie!
