Newborn Session: Little Sister

After two boys, welcoming a baby sister can be an adjustment. These big brothers are great helpers to mom and dad, and enjoy helping with their new baby.

After sibling shots we got some details. Newborn babies have such adorable features! I love to capture macro (close up) images of their lips with little milk blisters, their wrinkly little baby toes and baby feet, and more.

Seriously. Aren’t baby feet adorable? I dislike feet in general, but theres just something about the teeny tiny tootsies of a brand new baby that makes them cute.

Little miss decided she was interested in what I was doing and I got some great eye contact! She was bright eyed and alert for a while.

I think I almost got a smile. Almost.

Big yawn! It’s exhausting being this cute! Most newborn photography sessions do include a few awake images. As long as baby isn’t unhappy, we remain flexible and rock on with the session. Swaddling a newborn usually helps keep them happy and comfortable. Sometimes it even helps newborns sleep. That’s a huge win for parents (and newborn photographers).

Blue isn’t just for boys! This robin’s egg blue backdrop is the perfect accent color to go with the little dried floral headbands. All of the wraps, headbands, and props shown are part of my studio collection and are available for client use. Isn’t this a beautiful combination for this sweet baby girl?

I love newborn babies with cheeks. Chunky ones. They’re so squishy.

This rustic bucket is a favorite prop, and allows for easy change of the wrap and headband. This allows for a little more variety during your session without waking a sleeping baby.

Doesn’t she look so comfy and cozy? There’s just something peaceful about sleeping babies…

Until they wake up and wonder what on earth you’re still doing there and why there’s a camera pointed at them. Babies make the funniest faces!

Many of the wraps and headbands seen here are from The Indy Cottage Prop Shop. It’s one of my favorites and has some of the best, softest, stretchiest fabrics I’ve ever found!

I always try to cater to whatever your personal taste is. In the case of sweet little Barrow, it was a mix of classic, simple newborn photography that captured all his little details and features, and a silly homage to the fact that he made his arrival just in time for the holidays. It’s a major award!

Wether you prefer super simple, or whimsical and fun, we can do that!  click here to learn more and schedule your session.

First Birthday Cake Smash on White | Canton GA | Shot From the Heart Photography

Mom requested a simple cake smash on a white background. Something light, bright, elegant, classy… I would say we nailed it! Monroe is the birthday girl and she had a fantastic time smashing her cake. She’s such a happy baby, and has the most beautiful blue eyes. I think I need to offer a white background more. I love the simplicity. Sometimes less is more.

You are my sunshine | Cake Smash Session | Canton, GA baby photographer

Birthdays are for celebrating! Turning 1 is a pretty big milestone, and a professional portrait session is a great way to ensure that those memories are preserved for years to come.

This little guy came for a session for his first birthday session and cake smash, and I would say he had a blast.

Happy birthday Layden.

His cake smash theme was “you are my sunshine”, and I always include 2-3 setups of 12 month portraits before the cake, so when mom suggested this sunny theme I knew just the background to use. He’s so cheerful that we kept it simple and let him be the star of the set. 

Then it was time for the cake! 
Baby Layden does have some food sensitivities, so mom had his cake specially made and I think it turned out beautifully. 

He wasn’t so sure at first. This can be normal when we put a cake in front of a baby, sitting on the ground, in an unfamiliar surrounding. My general rule is that as long as baby isn’t upset/crying, we let them go at their own pace and just enjoy watching! 

It didn’t take him long to investigate his cake. 

And it tasted pretty yummy too. 

It wasn’t long before he was smashing into his cake, and checking to make sure nobody was taking it away from him, lol! 

Mmmmmmmm

Good to eat, fun to squish. 

I love getting detail shots during cake smashes.

What a happy baby! 

Babies will let you know when they are done. When they do, it’s time for a bath. 
That is included with my cake smash sessions too! 

Splish splash- time to get clean with bubbles and a rubber ducky. 

If your little one is approaching their first birthday, scheduling a birthday and cake smash session is a great way to ensure you have those memories to look back on for years to come.
