I recently started offing more of a lifestyle type session. My style has always been simple with minimal use of props, but now in this lifestyle type newborn session there are no props, just strictly baby in a white bodysuit or swaddle. It is a very airy light feeling of having baby unposed and natural on a white blanket backdrop.

I photographed this beautiful family back in the summer, and I was so delighted to hear mom was having a baby boy.

As a newborn photographer I feel it is important to have my style something I enjoy and would want photos of for my own baby. I love having timeless and organic newborn photos. Newborn poses have some crazy names, like “Froggy” and “Taco” and I was actually never a fan of those poses, they didn’t seem natural to me. I like capturing baby in a natural state, something that looks comfortable and will never go out of style. You wouldn’t happen to catch your newborn in their crib with their feet next to their head propped up resting their head in their hands on their elbows, so why put them in that position for newborn photos?

I love when my clients feel the same way and love my minimal style which keeps the focus on their baby in a way they want to remember forever.

I do always welcome parents to bring in a keepsake or something meaningful that we can incorporate into the photo session, and for this mom it was to bring a floral wreath the she had custom made from a floral shop she used to work at.
