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.

Baby Photos Worth Waiting For!

This baby boy was an absolute sweetie!! I was so excited that his parents chose me to photograph their maternity photos as well as newborn baby pictures. I really do feel honoured each and every time families choose me to document this incredible time in their lives! I have many clients coming from Victoria, but also meeting more and more families who travel from Up Island. 

We timed each of the sessions around Dad’s work abroad, but due to his work schedule they had to wait until he was almost 2 months old to view the photos as they wanted to do so in person together. I am always thrilled to see their faces and hear their emotion as they watch their gallery slideshow for the first time. I can’t believe how much this little one has grown already in such a short time and how fleeting that “newborn’ stage really is. 

Please enjoy a look into some of his gallery below 🙂

Sweet Baby Boy Dreams…

Oh my goodness, this precious baby boy was a dream! We took a little while to settle him at the beginning (he arrived ready to party ;)) but after a full feed he drifted into a big sleep. I love that mom chose these fresh greens and neutrals. As our days get greener and the blossoms of Spring continue to bloom it’s nice to incorporate this palette and I think it was perfect for his skin tone.

The image right at the end is of Grandpa & mom’s hands holding baby. I think it is so special when grandparents come to our sessions. Grandpa didn’t want to be in a photo straight on but I convinced him to do just this one. I love that hands carry so much wisdom and strength and the dichotomy between an older generation and fresh new birth is so beautiful. This baby is so very loved.

Victoria Baby Photographer -Precious Baby Girl

This little one was so very calm for us throughout her session, very happy to snuggle up and and loved being wrapped. I love how she awoke on our last set up, bright eyed for her last few photos.

Oh my goodness, to have a head of hair like this!! She was so precious, and had the most gorgeous long eyelashes and sweet little cheeks 🙂

Sometimes parents come in with a very definite idea of the colours they would like and this family was no exception. These pretty pastels were perfect for her!

A Gorgeous Baby Girl – Her Newborn Photography Session Share

I am sharing this gorgeous baby girl’s newborn session today! What a sweetie she was, all of the pretty blush pinks, creams & hint of grey a girl could want!

Mom arrived with baby for the first part of the session and then we called Dad and big brother back for the final 30minutes at the end of the session for some family photos as well as some sibling photos. I find that having baby nice a settled in for the first part of the shoot works well in order to get our sleepy posing complete. This is usually a relaxing experience for mom to just sit and enjoy the session (and maybe even put her feet up to read a magazine!). I often suggest that Dad take any siblings off to the park up the street or out for a snack so they are fresh when they arrive at the studio. This becomes a fun and engaging experience for big brother to walk into and if baby awakes at this point, it really doesn’t matter!!

Twin Girls!! Newborn Session, Victoria BC

I was so excited when this mama contacted me to book photos for her twins!! Booking in advance is especially important with multiples and these little ones tend to arrive a little earlier oftentimes. A few weeks later they arrived and came to visit me in the studio. Mom is a beautiful sewer of the most gorgeous quilts (go have a look at her work), so I was really excited when she brought along the beautiful quilts she had made for her girls. Each of them works of art, I love working special items like these into the session. They might not be the main focus of the shot but having something that is handmade or special to your little ones is a great way to add a little colour in and be able to look back and remember those special touches.

They did so well for us and were amazing to work with. I love how these girls just cozied up to one another and were happiest while snuggling together in our props. There really is such a special bond shared between twins!!
