Zoey • Newborn Studio Session • Professional Newborn Photographer
Calgary | Airdrie | Cochrane
Alberta, Canada
I rarely have room for a last-minute newborn, but luck would have it that I was available to squeeze this beautiful little peanut and her family into my schedule a couple weeks ago. And they can count themselves exceptionally lucky, considering the events that were about to unfold just weeks after their session! I want to focus on this beautiful baby girl's session and just gush over how perfect this little Valentine's baby is. She is such a wonderful and sweet addition to the world!
Beautiful Baby Girl
Precious baby Zoey and her family joined me in my pretty little studio within days of first emailing me, and I was so happy that I was the lucky one who got to photograph this beautiful baby! Dainty little features and a head full of beautiful, thick hair! She was a unicorn baby (meaning she let me do anything and everything with her!) and I absolutely loved every single photo we captured during her session!
Sibling Portraits
Zoey's older brother, Noah, is 17 months old! My kids are quite close in age, and I can say that their relationships are amazing and they play together so well that I wouldn't have it any other way. Noah was so good during the session. He played happily in my playroom while we captured Zoey's photos, and he sat and smiled perfectly for a portrait with his sister! We always consider baby's safety during sibling poses, but I make it as easy as possible and love to make it as fun and easy for siblings as possible so that they (and their parents) can associate it as a positive experience.
Family Portraits
Family photos are always a big favourite amongst my clients. I include them with every session because I don't think clients should have to pick a photography package based on whether they want family photos or not, but rather more on the portraits they love once they've seen them. I have a session flow that easily integrates family poses into the session so that things go smoothly, and that way families don't have to worry about feeling regret later down the road about not getting them. We capture them and if parents love them (and they always do!) they can use those photos to build their own custom package.
It works so well for my clients, and it makes me happy knowing that they go home with photos they LOVE and that we didn't miss out on any opportunities!
Timeless & Beautiful
The "Baby In Dad's Hands" shot is also a photo that I do with every session. Seeing a brand new baby nestled perfectly in the palms of their daddy's hands is just too sweet to pass up, and perfectly shows just how tiny baby once was. We know all too well how quickly they grow!
Zoey had a brief moment of grins as she nestled into one of my nest props. She was so comfortable! She kept smiling before I was ready, but I just happened to sneak one tiny, dimply smile in when Mom wasn't looking and was able to surprise Mom at her reveal appointment! She gushed and was sooo excited!
Professional Baby Whisperer & Safe Newborn Posing
Since Zoey was born on Valentine's Day, we had to do something with one of my beautiful Heart Bowls. She was awake for a little bit but gave some of the most adorable expressions. I don't mind when I see little eyes peering back at me. Parents always end up loving a couple of awake shots!
I wanted to try out a new mint-coloured backdrop with Zoey, along with a wrap and bonnet that I made to matchf. It turned out so beautiful, and Zoey looked so adorable wrapped like a little freshly package candy - so sweet!
The "froggy pose" was a must-have during the session and little Zoey performed perfectly for it! I absolutely love her little head-tilt, and the girly vibes of the photo. She just looks so perfect and cute!
A Perfect Variety
Mom loves florals, so I was sure to work them into a few set-ups for Zoey's session. I love a mixture of different kinds of backdrops to create a gallery full of variety so that each image is like an adventure of its own. It prevents that feeling of monotony in a gallery. I love creating sessions that are as unique as each little client that comes into my studio, and furthermore, creating each image as different from the next as possible so that parents have a fun, beautiful gallery to pick through!
Clients can opt for themselves whether they want variety or consistency since they can view their images with a very short time after their session and customize it exactly the way they want.
I always include some sort of neutral colour to create a timeless piece that will always be "in style" for a long, long time. But colour is so much fun to play with, as well. And Zoey's skin tones on that emerald green backdrop are pure photographic PERFECTION!
Artistic & Unique
Of course, it's always fun to throw in a few extra surprises into a gallery, as well! Parents often adore these different and extravagantly themed portraits. They make great conversational pieces and are truly a work of art. I love a mix of minimalist to dramatic styled portraits in a gallery, and the best part is: the parents choose EXACTLY what they love! It works so perfectly!
This session was so much fun and I absolutely adored every single minute. I love feeling butterflies before and after every session. I do truly love what I do and I am so thankful for the wonderful families I meet and appreciate their trust in letting me photograph their babies and create perfect portraits for them to treasure for years and years to come!
