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.

And one more makes five- Free Maternity Sessions

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!

Baby Blessing- A Newborn Session

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…

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!

Olivia Love

Wow, how fast 6 months can go, here are a few images from the session I created with my own daughter, who is one of my toughest clients. I find it’s harder to photograph my own child, simply because all my “funny” tricks she has allready seen, and isn’t all that amused. But we love her all the same…

Baby Girl

Sherry — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:00:14 +0000

My friend (and previous co-worker) recently had a baby girl. Like most new moms she’s taken many photos at home of the new baby, but I convinced her, she needed to be some of the photos with her baby girl. Children grow way to quickly. A portrait session with baby and parents is more for the baby then parents, so someday they can look back and see how much they have grown.

Here is a selection from her session.

I trade photo sessions….for giraffees

Sherry — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:00:35 +0000

Yes, that is correct…Olivia even as an one month old baby she LOVED giraffes, so being the good mommy I keep my eyes peeled for any special giraffes who may need a new home. So a few months ago, Inspired Portrait had a booth at the Pregnant Pause event (for expecting mothers) at the alltel center. My heart melted when I spotted a mommy to be carrying a large gift basket she had won with a stuff giraffe in it. Crazy as it seemed I was I offered her Portrait $$$ in exchange for the toy….and wool-lah, here is her baby boy who enjoyed a photo session on the house, so my daughter can continue her giraffe collection.

Baby Love

Here is another precious newborn. In the mix of all the new little ladies I’ve been photographing, I was able to meet this handsome little man. Its exciting to meet mom(and family) at the maternity sessions and then seem them again when they have a new little one. He was a beautiful little baby, and his handsome older brother was very proud.
