Sigh… another scrumptious newborn. Lucky me!
You may remember mom, the gorgeous Danielle from our maternity shoot not so long ago. Well now welcome Aubree, who joined us shortly thereafter. I got to meet her at just eight days old for a newborn session that is part of the baby package her parents purchased.
As with all newborn sessions, you have to go in with a calm disposition and lots of patience because babies run the show: Aubree was no exception. Diapers, feedings, rocking, crying, sleeping…. it’s a constant dance to capture whatever you can between the split-second emotions and needs of a new baby. And yet oh-so-fun. I love that, after we soothed Aubree into a deep sleep, we were able to incorporate a saddle that is Danielle’s mom’s. Her mom is a world-class equestrian rider and it’s so wonderful when you can have props that really mean something to a family. Not that it was easy to balance a newborn on a saddle.
Some of my absolute favorites from this session are the super close-up detail shots of her tiny hands and feet, downy skin, and that heart-stopping burst of a mid-sleep smile. So sweet.
Many thanks to Dottie from Camino Flower Shop for her friendship and always being so generous with the loan of all her beautiful props.
