When planning for your baby’s first portrait, it is important to remember:

1. To Keep it simple, was is so precious about babies is their tiny toes, hands ears etc, Busy clothing/patterns only distracts

2. To Plan about an hour for the session, and know that baby is in charge, if she needs a break, she gets one

3. Our Temperature, newborns like to be warm, so we keep the studio very cozy, hot even, to keep naked babies content. Mom & dad may want to consider dressing in something lightweight.

4. That Starting a tradition begins with this session, if you want to include a special blanket, or keepsake to watch baby grow, bring it to the session.

5. Relax and baby will too.

We always encourage a phone consultation prior to newborn sessions so we can provide guidance and answers to an questions about the session.

This Precious family came to Inspired for their first visit this past July, in celebration of welcoming baby #3. When the mommy heard about our free Maternity sessions she packed up the family and traveled over 90 minutes to create these (and many more) images with her boys.  I had a great time asking the boys about the anticipation of their new sibling, they both seemed quite silently proud to welcome the new one (Who is expected to arrive right around Olivia’s birthday) I spoke with the big brothers about all the things a baby will need, like wipes, diapers and blankets, so we piled them puff of supplies and let life happen for this first image. Congrats Thiners!

This Family has become very near and dear to me as mommy and me both have two kids that are similar in age. We have many stories to share. After the session I was able to have sometime playing with the new big brother building block and riding a little bike around the gallery, very precious!  Here is the newest addition to the family…

Is your little prince or princess getting ready to turn one? Let me create a few images of the exciting time in his/her life, Here are a few images from a recent session, including a “baby cakes” session.

Another precious child greeted us with her presence last week. For being less then two weeks old she had great personality. Raising her hand when she had a questions and even tossing up the peace sign to reassure us everything was fine. Her two big brothers dressed in blue and provided an unconditional love through the session. Congrats mom and dad!
