Welcome to Baby Genevive’s newborn photos!

Her mama is a pretty special little lady to me. I photographed her years ago as a child, and her she is now all grown up with a child of her own! It’s always so humbling to me when people choose me for their newborn photos. But when children I have nannied or photographed before bring me their new babies to photograph, it’s just such a different experience.

Here are some highlights of Baby Genevive’s newborn photos.

Welcome to baby Athena’s newborn photos!

 

Mom was pretty excited to have her first girl after two boys! These boys were the cutest with their baby sister! They just loved her so much. 

 

Mom and dad came to their session prepared with props they wanted baby Athena photographed with. Her animal is an owl, and so they brought owl props, and of course a Grecian crown for the goddess she is.  

Mom wanted the dark wood backdrop for the family photos! I love how they were in the darker clothing, and the kids popped with the whites and purple!

Welcome back to the blog! It’s been since November 2021 since I’ve posted!

Let’s get to Brooks Cake Smash!

You can view Brooks newborn session HERE.

This is actually my very FIRST super hero cake smash! I have a lot of super hero babies come through, but no smashes! I was pretty thrilled, but nervous when his mama said super hero!

BUT!

THIS amazing mama made all of the building silhouettes, and word décor! How talented is she?! I love how sweet and simple the entire scene came together!

Here’s Brooks, celebrating his first birthday in style!

photographing babies in teals

photographing babies in teals

happy thursday everyone!

today let’s visit photographing babies in teals!

i love the teal color! it’s so universal, and i am thrilled that this color is acceptable for both boys AND girls!

today i have isaac in teal, and as you can see there are many different shades of teal which all work together beautifully.

as you know, i really don’t like to have a lot of distraction in my newborn images. i feel as though the baby should be the center point, and the props are just accessories.

teals are fun to work with, because it’s both blue AND green. this gives you some wiggle room in your set ups in case you don’t have the EXACT teal shades all around. and i think if you did the image may lack depth. also, teals enable you to get more “different” looks out of just one set up. adding a more blueish teal bonnet in one set up, and a more greenish wrap in another will give you some variety for the parents. this is a lovely technique if you have a particularly fussy tiny human or are on a limited time frame.  🙂

again, my bonnet here is from mama knits. i adore the dark and light variant hues in this bonnet she has made. this enables me to use it in multiple types of set ups.

the curls, of course, are again mama knits. her curls are truly a work of art. SO much care goes into her craft, and watching her husband work his magic as well is phenomenal. they are truly and amazing team who pride themselves on excellence in their work. ashlee hand dyes each item she creates. it’s amazing. her curls are the perfect addition to any shot, especially if you love the more natural feel in your images. i love how her curl fibers soak up the colors differently, so there isn’t a flat look to them. they each have so much depth! the curls are so universal as well! i have ashlee’s curls layered on top of a flokati in one image, and then place directly on the wood backdrop in another.

i am also using mama knits wild lamb layer blanket in the bowl shots. it’s a much brighter teal, but still ties in with the original more muted teal theme. her wild lamb blanket layers are perfect for these types of bowl shots, giving some texture and depth to the overall image while protecting the baby from the hard wooden surface. baby’s safety and comfort ALWAYS come first.

in the bonnet shots i am using the luneberry flokati in calabash, and i am SO incredibly pleased at how well this flokati color ties in with all my mama knits layers! how perfect is this?

the wrap is also from luneberry, in the calabash color. it’s a little darker teal color, but still coordinates well and gives a lovely finish to the image.

since i am certain someone at some point will ask me about the wooden bowl…. it’s not from a vendor.

living in the pacific northwest, we have a plethora of antique stores. this particular one i purchased at an antique store in hood river, oregon. i have about six different wooden bowls, all varying in sizes. it’s hard for me to pass up a wooden bowl, since the are so few and far between here! i am so picky about my wooden props…. i won’t purchase them from vendors UNLESS it’s willow and elm, who is mama knits beautiful mother…. and she’s also local. 😉 my husband, the wizard, also makes me wooden props <3

if you ever decide to come take a mentoring class with me, we will definitely be visiting mama knits, willow and elm, and of course the hood river antique stores. <3

 

xoxo,
