newborn bay girl tucked into sleep with her stuffed animalsWhen I first talked with Harper’s mom on the phone, she was ecstatic that I had a spot for them on my calendar. She had found my work in a portfolio book that was in the lobby of Lotus Yoga after a prenatal yoga class. “I finally found her!” was her comment to her husband because she had been looking for a newborn photographer that would fit their family perfectly. And, boy did we all work wonderfully together getting her baby girl’s newborn pictures.

Dad sat back on the couch while we worked, and Mom took the opportunity to take a shower and get dressed for her and Harper’s photos later in the session.

Mom looking at baby on her chest in front of big picture windowMomma got her images with Harper just minutes after Harper surprised us all with a very messy bottom. Lesson learned: if the baby is going to be wrapped anyway, keep the diaper on! We had to completely discard the other wraps and make due with different ones. But then, Harper was back to her completely serene self and made the sweetest pictures with her parents.

The tutu is part of the huge collection of baby props that I use to design sessions that perfectly fit my families style and desires for their photographs.

All of these images (except for the maternity photographs) were taken in Mom and Dad’s new home in Colchester. Having an in-home newborn photography session made things so much easier for this family since they could just kick back and not have to travel anywhere for their session.
