I love doing newborn sessions in my natural light studio. It's actually a sunroom that I converted into a studio, so it still has that bright, natural look, but is staged with a white couch, white mid-century modern chair, white-washed wood floors, a white brick wall and 3 walls of windows with white curtains. Can you tell I love white? (I suppose the name White Elm Photography is a hint.) Anyway.... sweet baby Jocelyn was a dream! She slept when she was supposed to, showed us her bright beautiful eyes at all the right moments. And of course, we had to add a little festive tree for this beautiful Christmas baby!
Ellie is pretty lucky to have these two for parents. They are some of the kindest, sweetest, most loving people I know! I loved this lifestyle newborn session. I got to capture all the tender moments like snuggling, kissing, and nuzzling that perfect baby girl. She had the softest hair, brightest eyes, and most calm, peaceful presence.
Little Betsy may not have wanted to smile for me... but she was still the cutest, sweetest little girl! And that fur vest?! Baby fashion is my weakness. I would wear yoga pants and a t-shirt for the rest of my life, as long as my babies are well-dressed! But back to this session. The colors. Oh the colors! I'm obsessed with this beautiful world we live in.
Cathryn is one of those pregnant women that literally glows. Her happiness is contagious! The moment I met her, I just knew she was going to be the most amazing mother.
Happy babies are so contagious. Have you ever looked a smiling baby and not smiled back? Nora was so darling. I just wanted to kiss those cheeks! Mommy and me photography sessions will always have a special place in my heart.
The moment I walked into the hospital room, I just felt it. Crazy love and happiness that only a newborn baby can bring. I love capturing those moments. It's what makes my job as a newborn photographer so fulfilling.
