Professional newborn baby photography session
Newborn photography is among my favorite type of baby photography session. Brand new babies are so small and squishy. They change every day! Your baby is growing and filling out, learning about the world around them. They don’t stay tiny for very long and before you know it, they’re past the newborn stage. Sleepless nights are tough. They make it hard to remember all those delicate details your baby has. Professional newborn photography ensures that even though this stage of life doesn’t last, your memories won’t fade.
This sweet baby girl’s mom is a veterinarian. She requested a set-up that represented her love for animals. I found this little outfit and sweet cuddly critters on Amazon and couldn’t resist! I love how it turned out.
Simplicity really helps your new baby be the star. I especially enjoy using neutral, rustic tones like the antique quilt to go with the wooden crate. The little delicate daisy headband is the perfect size for newborns! (Here at Shot From the Heart Photography, clients have complete access to my huge collection of backdrops, props, maternity dresses, accessories, wraps, tiebacks, and more). Isn’t she perfect?
Mom is a veterinarian, and dad is a pilot! We had to do some photography of dad in his pilot uniform with his newborn baby girl. She fit just perfectly in his hat.
This picture is a composite image. That means that I took multiple pictures and pieced them all together to form the final one you see here. First, the hat was placed on a giant bean bag for support before baby was added. Once baby was comfortable in the hat (with wraps to cushion her), she had hands on her back so that if she startled, she wouldn’t move. Then, I took pictures of dad holding the empty hat. The final image is the result of putting all those pieces together in photoshop. Newborn safety is always the priority.
She’s ready to fly the friendly skies! I wonder what places she’ll visit as she grows.
Spring is just around the corner and we used some little cherry blossoms for this setup. I love how baby’s little features shine through, especially those lashes!

Sleepy little baby. She is so incredibly beautiful. I just love working with newborns!
