A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of doing a newborn baby photo session–it was very special because I had photographed the mom and dad’s wedding a few years before. I love it when my brides trust me with their precious little ones. When I found out that Libby would be visiting her grandmother I was really excited to meet her. Little Libby was only a few weeks old, but she was adorable! She was very alert and very, very smiley. It was a bonus that we had some very cool accessories to play with during the photo session.
We started out with an lace ecru dress against a beautiful quilt made by Libby’s grandmother, who is a master quilter. The colors were so complimentary to her skin tones and the dress she was wearing. I also liked the textures of the dress and the quilt.
So alert and serious.
From serious to hysterical. That is what I love most about working with babies.
I like to use black and white when photographing infants. It is so timeless and classic.
Getting a little sleepy.
We were so lucky to have Libby’s great-grandmother for a few photos.
Love how delicate her little fingers look.
Costume change–the hat was adorable.
The flower on the headband is almost bigger than she is. I love making pictures of moms with their babies.
Sleeping babies are so sweet.
