Newborn Baby Photographer Columbia SC | Itty Bitty Natural Baby Session – Basket of Beautiful

October 18, 2012

I am so thrilled with how well the Itty Bitty Natural Baby Sessions are going! I love photographing newborn babies so much and it is awesome to be able to offer these session to more new parents!

Look at this little princess! She is so beautiful and slept so well for the first part of our session! She let me wrap her and gently position her in my little bassinet basket without a bit of protest!

I love the outdoor images from this morning session. With the sun coming up behind the home, I was able to photograph the family and the baby in the softer wrapped and bounced light found on the front porch. There was a lovely sweet potato vine there that had really long runners and I found I was able to place the baby bassinet basket right among the runners so that in the images you hardly saw that it was a porch at all! The basket was just surrounded by this gorgeous greenery. I adjusted my camera settings to keep the focus very shallow so that the leaves in the foreground and background would grow increasingly out of focus to add to the dreamy feel of the image.

Now, can we take a second to talk about this client’s dog?!? Oh my gosh! This is the second time I have photographed a family with a puggle who wanted to incorporate them in the images. Both dogs were fantastic and it only took a little patience and teamwork between myself and the client to get the great images. Here is the first puggle + baby image I made:

I LOVED the session, LOVED the images, and LOVED that dog. That image in particular is one of my favorites.

With this new client, their puggle had just turned 1 year old! I was a little concerned about working with a dog this age and getting her to cooperate for the image. However, once again, some experience on my part and a cooperative effort between me and my awesome clients and we were able to get not one great shot, but TWO! I couldn’t be more thrilled. The images are already on my website in my “fur baby” gallery:)

OK, on to the images of the beautiful growing family! Enjoy!!!
