I always like to begin my newborn portrait sessions by photographing the family. I do this for a couple of reasons. One, the heat. I like to keep it nice and warm in my studio to keep babies comfortable when they’re in their birthday suits so the studio tends to get warmer as the session goes on. By photographing the family first, it allows clients to get comfortable for the duration of the session. Two, it’s a great way to get the baby nice and comfortable. It also determines the session flow. Either we start with naked poses or we start with wrapped poses and then things move along from there. Whenever I meet a new family, if there aren’t any other siblings, I ask if they would prefer to have the baby naked or wrapped for the family portion. Little miss Nevaeh was perfectly content being all snuggled with mom and dad in her birthday suit. She slept so good for the rest of her session and gave us a beautiful gallery of images. I loved the little angel wings that they brought in to use during the session, too. The colors we used were absolutely perfect. Sharing a few of my favorites below.
