I always like to include macro shots of your bundle of joy during their newborn session. The shots focus on the little details you ogle over in the first few weeks of their life, but are some of the first we forget! My favorite is the wrinkles in the bottom of their feet, but their adorable little nose, beautiful lips, and dainty lashes are not to be passed up.

These first two images posted below sum up Baylor’s newborn session pretty accurately. Awake and alert! Have no fear, the sleepy dust did make its way into the studio after some extra snuggles (no complaints about that here!) and some milk from Mom. I’m not sure what I love more though, newborn lovey snuggles, or a beautiful candid moment between mom and her youngest son.

11 day old Elliot came into the studio with big brother Sam by his side. Taking photos with your brother can be a little tricky when you’re 18 months old, but Sam was so sweet with Elliot. He would point to Elliot’s nose and give him kisses and cuddles. Elliot experienced most of his newborn session behind closed eyes. But this didn’t stop him from giving us several adorable sleepy smiles.

Swing minis are awesome for nearly any age. With customized swings for boys, girls, and the younger crowd, these mini-sessions are one of my most popular mini-sessions! The greenery around the swings and the lighting that we aim to capture make these images whimsical and timeless.

Storm would do anything for his favorite thing…cheese! Storm’s owner came well-equipped with several packages of string cheese. Even for an old pup like himself, Storm knew exactly what he was about to be rewarded with when he heard that wrapper peel back! It was the cutest thing to watch him get excited for his special treat!

Sweet Tellulah arrived at JNP studio at nine days old with her proud siblings and doting parents. Tellulah, nicknamed Lulah (how adorable is that?!), had us “aww-ing” throughout her entire session.

Iyari came into the studio to be photographed in celebration of turning 2! You can see how special the bond between mother and daughter is in these photos. The image below is one of my favorites from Iyari’s session. The way the light catches her eyes as she’s looking up reminds me of why I started photographing in the first place.

I have been photographing the Grimaldo family since big sister, Paola, turned one! But this time it was little brother Mateo’s turn to be in front of my camera! He loved splashing in the water and playing with the little rubber ducky that I provide for bath time. His curious little head tilts and his adorable smile made everyones hearts melt!

I’m convinced that if anyone looked up the word “personality” in the dictionairy, Alina’s picture would be the definition! This one year/ cake smash session was so dreamy in so many ways. One of my favorite things about Alina’s one year session was how much she LOVED music. She took a total of one bite of her cake and danced the rest of the time!

Before I get into detail about this Newborn session, can we just take a moment for this hair?! Diego was a picture perfect model when he came into the studio at just 9 days old.

14 day old Justin (and his full head of hair) came into the studio with big brother ready for their close ups.

Meet the most cooperative children in the world. Avery was the proudest big sister and was so happy to comply with all of my requests. I love this first sister image so much that I actually have it hanging in my studio. Smiles all around!
