Pink and White all the way! Mama wanted to incorporate these colors in her babies wraps and setup. The choice of colors is always entirely up to the family to decide upon booking. This family continued to carry these colors into their own wardrobe which really made this Gallery very cohesive. This consistent color choice created a GORGEOUS Gallery. On top of that, Baby Mia slept though her entire session and was totally content wrapped up snug-as-a-bug. It couldn’t get better than that!
What a GORGEOUS family! I first met this sweet family when I photographed their maternity session with baby #2 back in January 2021. And now, just a few months later ( April 2021) Baby Zoey joined us! Baby Zoey was a dream newborn to work with. She slept throughout her session and was so content… just the way we like them:) Brother Xander had to be distracted a few times as was expected for a toddler his age:) But he was super gentle with his baby sister. I could see the love and protective qualities that only an older brother can have. Congrats again to this family on their new additions and I hope they will look back at these images years from now and truly know the value of this moment being captured:) If you are expecting be sure to reach out to book your newborn session soon so that we can capture these beautiful seasons of life for you!
This session was wayyyy more windy and colder than we had expected! But I’ll be honest, I lOVE the wind in photos. It creates such drama and beauty. Morgan had contacted me for a Family Session a few weeks ago. She was well prepared of what she was wearing and coordinated the families outfits to the T. BUT little did she know that the dress she ordered would not fit properly and that the babies clothes would make her very cold. Client Closet to the rescue!! I had brought some extra dresses and some clothes for baby girl. So in the nick of time, we changed the plans and came up with THIS!! This family drove out to the suburbs of Philadelphia to take beautiful images of their sweet family and that is exactly what they got! One of my FAVORITE family sessions by far!!
Baby Landon- Sitter Session
How adorable is this? Seriously the most happiest baby I have had in the studio lately:) The setup was a Boho-inspired theme and man, it did not disappoint. The clothes and accessories were provided by the studio to keep the look consistent (from the Client Closet). This is a new feature I am trying to build so that parents have an option to choose from a variety of options that work well in the studio. The mommas also have a selection of dresses to choose from (for family sessions). This will help create a consistent look and beautiful images that represent my style. So if you are in the market for some beautiful indoor sessions, be sure to contact me for availability!
What a beautiful family!! Baby girl slept right through her session and didn’t make a PEEP! Thank you for making my job so easy and fun! I mean. how adorable does she look??
Did you know that a blanket wrapped snuggly around your baby's body can resemble the mother's womb and help soothe your newborn baby (The American Academy of Pediatrics)? This is why photographers love to wrap babies snuggly in beautiful wraps in newborn photos. When done correctly, swaddling can be a successful technique to help calm infants and promote sleep.
In Studio Newborn Photos- Phoenixville, Pa
Ashley contacted me to book her newborn session and I was thrilled!! I just bought some wonderful wood backdrops and some new props that I wanted to test out. I just started offering Newborn In-Home Studio sessions this year. I am located in Phoenixville, Pa., about 35 min from the city of Philadelphia. This doesn’t mean I don’t have experience with newborns. Actually, I have been doing newborn sessions in the past 4 years. But they were done in my clients homes. I still do sessions in my clients home, but only when it is requested. I have found that it is beneficial to have a space available for my clients. Below I will discuss why its a great idea to offer In-Home Studio Sessions to your clients and how it can be advantageous for the clients too.
There are many benefits of having a session photographed at a studio setting vs having them at the clients home. In here, I will share a few benefits. This is not to say that In-Home sessions are inferior. They can also create beautiful photographs. This is just putting into perspective some things that we may not consider.
First, when the photographer has a room/space dedicated to newborn/sitter sessions, there are many variables that stay consistent. This consistency, helps to keep the work more reliable. For example, lighting is a key element which helps dictate what type of photo will be rendered in the end. Is it natural light or artificial? Are the photos rich, dark & moody or light & airy? The lighting helps to create the mood of the photos.
Another great benefit is access to all of the props. Newborn photographers have lots of props…I mean lots. We have to be able to offer various colors, textures and styles for our clients. So we continue to purchase items (according to our styles of course) to help create “the look” we are going for. So when the photographer is in the studio, she can easily grab whichever color wrap, or headpiece that looks appealing. Photographers are artists. So being visual animals, we see magic through the lense. And sometimes what we thought, doesn’t always look as beautiful when put together. We need to play around with the colors and textures. So having the props close by, helps our vision come to life.
Last but not the least, the photographer gets to build a relationship with the clients when they come to the studio. When I open my home to my clients, I get to interact with them at a different level. Its like they are my guests and I always treat my guests with a warm welcome.
With all these benefits, I would highly recommend my clients come to my studio for their newborn session. It provides a reliable product, access to many beautiful props and helps build a relationship. Since I began my newborn sessions , I have also had a chance to integrate the posed newborn sessions with some shots of the parents in lifestyle shots. This helps me stand out from other photographers because I offer a HYBRID version of both styles of photography. As I get my feet wet, learning the ins and outs of incorporating both types of photography styles, I thought I would offer my clients a discount to come see what I have to offer. There is a PROMOTION right now on my site for booking these sessions. So be sure to get into contact and book in advance so that when baby comes, you are ready to capture those precious moments.
Today I wanted to do a creative shoot. This is something I had been planning for a while. It was cold out, and I didn’t feel like taking Sulaiman outside to entertain him so what better fun for kids then BUBBLES! I also wanted to do this before my baby is too big to fit into our sink. Ok, this sink is pretty roomy but still today was the day and I took advantage of my babies love for water and bubbles. I quickly cleaned up the kitchen (cause lets me honest, it does not look like this on a normal day with 3 littles humans running around). I was going for a minimalist, crisp and clean look and look how STUNNING it turned out!!!
I met this sweet family on a wet and rainy day this Fall. They were very close to moving into this new home they just had built. Although it was drizzling, we continued shooting to capture some beautiful family shots. My goal was to find spots under the trees to keep from getting wet. Their three boys and darling daughter did great as we continued capturing some great shots! These will be the first family photos in this new house where they will continue to build many precious memories in.
