Choosing Your Colors – Newborn Photography Victoria BC

When planning our newborn sessions, parents get to choose a few colors they would like to have included in their sessions. Sometimes they know the colors ahead and other times they like to wait to meet the baby and then decide. This way all the photos flow together if hung in a gallery wall and also tend to be the colors they have chosen for a nursery or for their homes in general. Using different textures, headbands, hats, props and wraps, those colors can all flow together and a cohesive gallery can be achieved!!

For this baby girl’s photo session, lavender, cream, beige and white colors were chosen. Here was how I used those colors. With Mom and Dad wanting to use lots of neutrals we were able to create a colorful set of images as well as a monochromatic set. Which one is your favorite?

I would love to hear which colors you would choose for your newborn session! If you are interested in booking baby pictures in Victoria, BC with Amanda, please email amandahaddow@gmail.com to find out more details.

All the best, Amanda

SO CUTE – NEWBORN BABY BOY SNUGGLING A BEAR

Each week I get to capture new families in their sweet newborn baby session.

Each of them a tiny little miracle. What a dream!!

Don’t you just love baby boys and their sweet little faces? This sweet boy was such a cutie and the first image with him snuggling our baby bear is mine (and his Mom & Dad’s!!) very favorite from his newborn session here in Victoria. Catching a sweet smile is always so special 🙂

I love that they chose both blues and greens and these deeper colors were just perfect with his hair color! We even got to use our new pompom bonnet which is perfect for winter babies.

VICTORIA PHOTOGRAPHER – THIS GORGEOUS NEWBORN BABY GIRL

I was so happy to be able to photograph this beautiful baby girl!

Sometimes we have weeks when our pre-bookings for babies shift (as they have arrived late!) and we are able to take an extra booking that hasn’t been made in advance. Thankful that this was one of those weeks and we were able to photograph this sweet baby girl!! She was just so precious and honestly such a good baby. I loved her sweet little smile in the first image here!!

The pinks and purples are really complimentary to one another in these soft tones but we wanted to do some monochrome set-ups also so mom & dad would have a greater choice in their gallery! I love adding some sweet floral touches too through the headbands and also this lovely little floral romper by a local company. Looking forward to including fresh spring flowers soon!

THE SWEETEST NEWBORN BABY BOY

Wow!! I can’t believe how quickly the last couple months of 2018 flew by! SO much so, in fact, that I haven’t blogged any newborn baby photo sessions since October! This beautiful baby boy was born in October and we are just getting to his session share now…better late than never?!?!

He was such a good little baby for the entire session, which meant that we got to be really creative in his set-ups and got lots of prop photos done before moving onto his peek-a-boo pose on the bean bag.

I love that big brother joined in at the end of his session also. He was such a proud big brother and had the best expressions cuddling this sweet new guy in his life.

I am so proud to be capturing all of his first year moments. All the way from pregnancy pictures to his first year milestone. We have many more fun sessions to come with his First Year Baby Plan!!

Enjoy some highlights of his session share here.

Beautiful testimonial from this newborn’s parents

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but I really do have the sweetest families around!! I so enjoyed this session, capturing the beautiful details and ‘newness’ of this precious baby boy.

A few of the kind words I received from mom and dad:

“We were so excited to get the photos back, they are even more amazing than I could have hoped for!

Both (of us) were blown away with the shoot, your creativity and skills as a baby whisperer, I’ve already recommended you to several of my friends and can’t thank you enough.

I really can’t express how incredible these photos are!”

These reactions warm my heart. I love making families happy and creating memories they will have forever. This is why this ‘job’ is so special. Here is a share of some of the images we captured for them.

Victoria Baby Girl Newborn Photo Session

I just photographed this adorable baby girl’s 4 month milestone photo session and realised that I hadn’t blogged her newborn session!! It was definitely time to look back at her session and pull out some favourites to share with you 🙂

Mom and Dad wanted a mix of pastels; pinks, purples and some green too. I find most clients really let me have creative freedom to use the props and blankets that I like and mix in sweet little newborn hair accessories or bonnets when I like.

I feel so fortunate to have families entrust me with capturing baby’s first year. So far we have done maternity pictures, newborn baby photos, her 4 month session and still baby’s 9 month and one year celebration photo sessions are to come!! I love to use at least one or two of the same elements in each of the sessions so we can compare baby’s growth.

We are also now incorporating at least one digital backdrop into each gallery, making sure to remember this when photographing baby! That way I am able to create the image after the session in post production. You can see the beautiful butterfly backdrop that I was able to use in this session from my design partnership with the Heidi Hope Design Partners. I just love how perfectly this layout flowed with their chosen colour palette.

If you are thinking of capturing baby’s first year or any of his/her newborn moments, please don’t hesitate to call me at 250-885-6860, I would love to chat with you!!
