LOVE Is In the Air — Newborn Photos for Valentine’s Day

LOVE is in the air at the studio this week! I had so much fun with this Valentine’s Day newborn session. This little lovebug’s mom really likes the holiday, so we played with fresh rose petals and ALL the pink props. Even the wood backdrop is pink. I think the result is sweet as candy and just perfect for a brand-new baby girl. So pretty in pink!

All a new baby really needs is love, and this one is definitely surrounded by it. Congratulations to the family on their new Valentine! I think she’s going to be tall — look at those long fingers and feet!

Newborn Details — Piggies, Fingers and More

Most parents and many photographers don’t think to capture the little details of newborns, like toes, fingers, lips and hair. These might not be the most liked images on social media, or the ones you get printed on large canvases to decorate your walls, but they’re so important to have.

Newborns change so much in the first few weeks of life, and parents are often in such a fog of sleeplessness and trying to figure out a new little person, they won’t remember the perfect pucker of those little lips, the shapes of all those tiny toes, the way the soft, fuzzy hair swirls in the back, or how those fragile fingers lay. As many times as they’ll clip those teeny nails, they’ll soon forget just how small they really were.

I love to help my clients create lasting memories of this most special time. I hope that when they look back at these macro shots once their little ones are bigger, it helps transport them for a moment, and they can almost feel that soft skin and smell that fresh newborn scent all over again.

Newborn Photography — Two Little Birds

“Sweet bird, my soul, your silence is so precious.
How long will it be before the world hears your song in mine?
Oh, that is a day I hunger for!”

— From “Two Birds” by Michael Jackson

I consider newborn photography an art form, and this tree composition with two little birds in a nest is my most recent masterpiece. Imagery of trees, nests and birds are often used to symbolize birth, growth and the relationship between mothers and babies. It was a joy to see this all come together, from the thick, gnarled trunk, to each carefully placed leaf and berry cluster. Our sweet little live birdie (who has gorgeous head of hair!) was cozy in the nest with the artificial one, and was blissfully unaware of all the styling going on. This is sure to be a treasured family heirloom.

The Wendy Williams Show — PUBLISHED!

OMG, my photo from Miss Jhett Paxton Cromartie’s newborn session was on The Wendy Williams Show!!!

I got a call from Terricka Cromartie the other day to let me know that my image filled the set of The Wendy Williams Show, and my expression probably looked like Wendy’s does below. SO EXCITING!!! Thank you so much to Terricka and Antonio for allowing me to capture their gorgeous family. I have spent so much time getting to know them and their adorable children. It has truly been a complete pleasure and one of the most rewarding experiences.

Here’s the image that was used. I can’t believe this little princess is five months old now!

Newborn Photos — Jhett Paxton Cromartie

You’ve already seen this cutie as The Elf on the Shelf, as well as some sneak peeks of her birth and newborn sessions on Facebook and Instagram, but I’m excited to share more of Miss Jhett Paxton Cromartie’s newborn photos here on the blog! It was an honor to capture Terricka and Antonio’s sixth child, a true football princess.

This first photo, which was published in US Weekly and BET, was so much fun to style. We commissioned the custom locker from Woodsy Wonders, and Miss Jhett and all her gear fit perfectly inside. The little shoes are my favorite! She’s clearly had a busy day out on the field, so it’s time for a nap.

She also looked gorgeous on my swing and in the wreath (which involve lots of photography magic), as well as on the pink lace blanket with various headpieces. Can you spot the tiny pink football? Terricka and Antonio are seasoned parents, so they look so confident and joyful with her in their arms. I just love this family, and look forward to watching all of their precious little ones grow!
