Baby A: Logan, Utah Newborn Photographer

This beautiful baby girl and all her loving family came and joined me in studio this past month. 

As a girl mama myself, I've always loved this little family of girls since I first started doing newborn pictures for them. Watching this family grow, has been an absolute joy. They are so loving and fun (and so very photogenic!). 

Little precious baby A fit right in with her beautiful family. She already is so adored and loved and capturing the joy and connection was an absolute pleasure. 

Her mama wanted a full studio newborn session so we could get lots of different pictures of baby in different poses and props, and still have time for all the family groupings they wanted, including a four-generation picture of these strong, loving women and their girls. How amazing is that?!

W Twins: Logan Utah Newborn Photographer

This beautiful family has been coming to my studio, ever since their daughter was the baby! I adore getting to know and love clients as they share their precious lives and memories with me. I was thrilled when they let me know they were expecting twins and wanted me to do the gender-reveal images. I was even more excited when these two handsome, chunky boys came in for their newborn session! 

Twins come with their own challenges, and blessings. Like many twins, these boys definitely had  two different personalities. We get to work with that throughout the session, which is fun as when one baby is fussy, we can get individual shots of brother. 

My favorite thing about photographing twins is how content they are just to be close to each other. I loved watching these boys drift to sleep, cuddled into one another. I think newborns are the sweetest things to photograph, and it was a joy to do these two together with their amazing family. 

Baby N: Logan, Utah Newborn Photographer

This beautiful newborn baby girl is just so very beautiful. So much amazing brown hair, such petite, darling features. I think I could have cuddled her all day. 

This girls mama is an amazing photographer and so of course knew all the things to do before-hand to make sure baby N was set to go for her session. 

This little girl started the session all stretchy and wide-eyed. After a while (and a good snack) she was set to drift off to sleepy-land. 

I'm always amazed at how quick newborn photos go once baby finds their sleepy spot. Baby N did great and had some gorgeous set-ups and transitions. 

So how can you make sure baby pictures go well for your little one? Here are a few tips. 

1. Focus on a full-feeding right before. I get that baby's ultimately decide when to eat but work to keep baby awake and eating right before you come. (If it doesn't work out, you can also feed them here!).

2. Don't let baby sleep all day before photos. If you can, give them a bath, play with them, just help them to get in some awake time so that they will be ready for sleep. We will also schedule your session to help accommodate this. 

3. Relax. The most important thing to do for yourself and your newborn is to leave worry behind. I have worked with dozens of babies many who didn't eat well, weren't at all tired, or otherwise struggled. Every single one ended up with beautiful images in unique ways. Don't stress. We've got this! 

Enjoy!

Happy First Birthday Pictures, Mr. C.

I can't believe it's been a year since this darling mr. was in for newborns. He and his sisters are oh so sweet!

Being a girl mama myself, I love the opportunity to pull out the boy props and enjoy some time connecting and enjoying little hunks like Carden (who was seriously so much more about his mom than me, but she's amazing, so I can't blame him!) One-year photo shoots are a great milestone when individual personalities start to shine. 

My favorite was how his two big sisters are still such sweet little mamas with him. Seriously, you can tell they adore their baby brother and while he was more comfortable with mom cuddles than being held by sisters, they were in heaven getting to show their cute baby brother off. 

So much love and change happens in that first year, and I'm so thankful for wonderful clients who let me capture their family memories as a child photographer!
