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

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.

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.

Please don’t hesitate to call (250-885-6860) if you are thinking of creating beautiful memories of this special time in your baby’s life. You are more than welcome to send me a message at amandahaddow@gmail.com.
