I love a good newborn session! They are some of my favorites and Baby Lucy was an adorable model with the squishiest cheeks! I got to photograph her mom, Kelsey's maternity session and it was phenomenal; now I get the special privilege of capturing Lucy at only twelve days old!
Lucy was so tiny, and just the SWEETEST thing during the session. She had that good "squish" that I just love to photograph in newborns!
Kelsey and Dewey were great during the family portion of the photo session. I played around with some different backgrounds since I knew them well and I wanted the session to be awesome! I used an ultramarine seamless background and I've never been happier with how the "parent" shots came out!
After that we moved on to the Props part of the session. For the first bit I used some pink furs and then a few wooden props from Luneberry. During a newborn photography session I always try to get a kind of "signature" photo. For little Lucy I used a bucket filled with succulents and some pretty purple flowers with a wood-floor backdrop. I try to keep the personalities of the family in mind when I choose props and I love how these turned out!
After that I moved to a pink-ish setup with some splashes of yellow flowers on the wood-floor backdrop. I would usually move on from the props part of the session to the "beanbag" part, but Lucy was so sleepy I just had to try something new!
Recently I haven't been able to do many sessions with babies in the two to three week stage, so I wanted something special. I am OBSESSED with my Luneberry wicker chair so I pulled it out and I propped a bucket on top of it for a head-on-hands picture. It was one of my favorite photos that I've ever taken!
After a few more pictures, I moved Lucy to the beanbag. Lucy was waking up a bit so I kept it simple. I did a bum-up photo and added a wrap to it for some flair! I did a few different poses with the wrap and then called it a session.
Baby Lucy was the perfect little muse for this newborn photography session. She was just the right age and had so much of that chunky newborn "squish", especially in her adorable little cheeks! I love Kelsey and Dewey so much, and I'm glad I got to capture such a special time in Lucy's life!
