Wide Awake Newborn Session | Seattle’s Best Baby Photographer

The goal of every newborn session is to get calm, sleepy, and posed photos of babies. As a newborn photographer, I spend a lot of time (which requires a lot of patience) trying to hone my skill and capture the very best photos I can for my clients. We can follow all the protocols and work through all the steps to try to make sure the baby is nice and sleepy but at the end of the day, the baby is in charge and decides what they’re willing to put up with! This little man had a nice short sleepy session and woke up in the middle for all the cute eye-open shots. I think the cute little smile he flashed in the womb pose might be a favorite from his gallery.

If you are looking to book a newborn session, I highly recommend contacting me a few months before your due date as my calendar often books several weeks in advance. I hate turning clients away due to lack of availability but unfortunately, I can’t always fit people in. Use the ‘contact me’ button in the upper corner to send me an email.

Best Tacoma Newborn Photographer | Baby Ella

Every once in a while, I decide I need to switch up my posing flow. For a long time, I was skipping past the egg wrap but one day, I decided to start adding it back in. I think switching things up a bit keeps it interesting and encourages me to try new things. Plus, every year when I teach workshops, it offers new material to mentees who may have taken a workshop with me in the past. Here are a few of my favorites from this little one’s newborn session.

Best Newborn Photographer in Seattle | Mia

I rarely share full family galleries; almost always keeping the focus on the baby. But this baby girl had some pretty amazing big brothers and I really wanted to share some of their photos, too.

Best Newborn Photographer Around Seattle | Baby Girl Josie

You guys. When I tell you that I had the most amazing time photographing this little girl’s newborn session, you’re gonna believe me when you see her gorgeous gallery. I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with this wonderful family again. Two maternity sessions, and two newborn sessions later… here we are. I should probably pair their newborn galleries into one post so you can see how much brother and sister look alike but there’s too much goodness here not to give this gallery its own spread.

Best Newborn Photographer in Seattle – Baby Weston

Before every newborn session, I provide my clients with a short sheet of information on tips and tricks that they can implement the morning of their session to help coax babies into a nice deep sleep. For any new parents (whether it’s their first baby or their fifth) they are usually sleep deprived and can become quite easily overwhelmed. For this reason, I try to keep things as simple as possible and tell them that these are only suggestions… that they should do whatever feels right for them on the day of the session.

Ultimately I have no idea if they follow the prep (unless they tell me) but looking back on this little man’s gallery, my guess would be that they totally did 🙂

Showing off some of my favorites from this little guy’s session. Loved the earthy color pallet, too!

i believe...

every photograph tells a story. capturing moments that would otherwise be forgotten. moments that can not be replicated or reproduced. moments that that are unique in meaning to every person who sees them. moments that you can not get back.

a photograph allows you the opportunity to relive those moments over and over again. these moments shape the story of our lives, and everyone has a story to tell.

let me help you tell yours.
