Gentle Newborn Photos for a Beloved Baby Girl ~ Cecilia

Gentle Newborn Photos

No one would argue with the fact that newborn babies are a handful! They need a lot of time, attention, and care, and the parents I photograph are always happy to give them anything they need. But there’s something we often forget about newborns: they’ve been through a lot! The birth process can be difficult and stressful, so when I’m photographing a new baby, I try to remind myself that on top of figuring out their new world, they’re also recovering from the experience of birth.

That was especially the case for little Cecilia. She had a particularly difficult birth and as a result, she had a significant hematoma on her head. Mom and Dad were worried about whether this would be an issue for her newborn portraits, but as you can see in the finished photos, she looks absolutely perfect and beyond adorable.

Newborn Daughter and Parents Pictures

Baby Cecilia is her parents’ first child, and it was easy to see that they were absolutely over the moon with joy. Portraits of my newborns with their parents always hold a special place in my heart because this journey isn’t just about the baby, it’s about the growing family, and in this family’s newborn daughter and parents’ picture, the love clearly shines through. I can’t get over the pure joy and excitement on Dad’s face as he looks down at his baby girl!

Overall, we opted for delicate and gentle newborn photos for little Cecilia, focusing on soft pinks and feminine florals. She slept so well for much of her photo session, but we did get one portrait with her eyes open, and her sleepy gaze is so incredibly sweet.

If you have a new little one on the way, I can help you create the portraits you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Contact my Glastonbury, CT newborn photography studio to book your session.
