Layla was ALL about smashing her cake to celebrate turning one! Some babies are delicate while eating their cake, but others, like Layla, just go for it. She truly enjoyed herself and by the end of the session, there were just a few handfuls of cake leftover 😂
Her mama requested feminine aspects, such as white, cream, and pinks, as well as florals. Before the actual smashing of the cake, we took some quick portraits of the birthday girl. She is quite the beauty!
Hudson was allll cheeks 😍 His parents chose a swaddled newborn option, so he was warmly wrapped during his entire session. These sessions are typically quick as baby stays swaddled throughout several sets/props. I think I maybe saw Hudson’s eyes open once (and after a snack, he was snoozing again). We incorporated a few personal/sentimental items, such as tiny cowboy boots and hat, which is always so special!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million times more- I get to photograph the most gorgeous babies! Winter was absolutely perfect for her newborn session. Her mama wanted soft, feminine colors, so we opted for lots of pinks and purples.
Full newborn sessions (classic and luxe) consist of 2-3 blanket colors with various wrapped poses and unwrapped/outfit poses, as well as 2-3 props (baskets, buckets, etc) and a flokati. These sessions are great because they produce a lot of variety!
Here are some of my favorites from Winter’s session:
This evening on Bald Head Island was absolutely beautiful! We had some amazing golden light (optimal starting time is about an hour before sunset to get the perfect lighting) and of course, a super photogenic and fun family!
The K. family reached out to get some updated family portraits during their vacation on Bald Head Island. BHI is one of my favorite local spots because it’s nice and secluded. Even during peak tourist season, it’s easy to find a quiet spot on the beach away from anyone else. And of course, the lighthouse “Old Baldy” had to make an appearance.
I enjoyed Brody’s newborn session so much! He was an absolute doll and his parents were the best as well! One of my favorite parts of newborn sessions is meeting new parents and getting to know their family a bit.
Mom requested neutrals, blues, and greens for Brody’s and those were amazing choices. He had the most perfect features, like his dark blonde hair and pouty lips. We also took some family shots in their gorgeous living room!
Brody was about 3.5 weeks old at the time of his session. The unoffical “rule” for newborn photography is less than two weeks old (because babies become less flexible for posing and more alert, etc), but for me, it’s usually not an issue until close to 5-6 weeks. If you haven’t scheduled newborn photos for whatever reason and baby is a bit older than two weeks, I’ve got you! We may not get every pose, but we’ll get some great shots!
