Solon Ohio Newborn Photographer

May 24, 2023

Welcome this sweet girl to the Solon Ohio newborn photographer blog! This sweet girl and her family came into the studio for a mentoring session last month. It was such a joy to have them with us while we taught a new photographer!

Did you know that we teach photographers that are interested in upping their newborn photographer game? If you are interested in learning posing, lighting, safety, editing, and business, we have you covered! Check out the mentorship program page to learn more.

This sweet girl was so sleepy for her newborn session! She really was the perfect model for our student to learn posing. Momma followed our prep guide so the whole family rocked the session in no time.

One of the key things that we teach for new newborn photographers is how to get the most out of each pose with different angles. It is really important to keep the movements minimal to keep baby sleeping and happy. By getting three unique perspectives in each pose you maximize the position of the baby.

Our student was interested in learning the taco pose (or sometimes called womb pose). We typically do not do this pose in our normal workflow but baby girl was a dream for us.

Family photos are so important to include with newborn sessions so it is a priority to teach them as well. This big brother was absolutely amazing- such a good listener and so patient. He sat so still which is highly unusual for a toddler!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog to check out this newborn session! Are you interested in learning more about newborn photography? Please contact Mary today to chat.

If you are expecting a little one soon and are looking for a Solon Ohio newborn photographer, please check out the portfolio to see if we might be the right fit. We recommend booking in your second trimester to secure your due date.

Strongsville Ohio Baby Photographer

May 11, 2023

Welcome this adorable little guy and his family to the Strongsville Ohio baby photographer blog today! Oh my heavens, what a dreamboat he is! I love meeting new families and watching them grow. Momma’s maternity session is one of my all time favorites and now this little man is added to the list too!

It is so important to me as a newborn photographer to make sure families are included in the newborn session. There is nothing better than seeing you with your baby in your arms. I know that it’s not the time that you feel most confident getting in front of the camera. Seriously, check out that new parent glow! You will be glad you have these photos someday.

This swing is such a fun set up! It is important to note that hands with right by baby the whole time. Never would we put baby in a prop like this without a lot of spotting and support. To see the behind the scenes of this, check out this video.

This little box is new to the prop collection- I’m in love with it! If you think you’re seeing double, you’re not wrong. The one on the left is the original and the one on the right is the finished. I bought the neutral color so that it was easier to match accessories and then can easily change the colors in photoshop!

I say this every blog post but the simplest photos are always my favorite! Little man has such long fingers and toes- he’s going to be either a wide receiver or piano player someday. Can’t wait to see how he grows!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog to check out these newborn photos! Are you expecting a little one soon and looking for a Strongsville Ohio baby photographer? I would love to chat with you today! We recommend scheduling in your second or third trimester.

Brecksville Ohio Baby Photographer

May 1, 2023

Welcome this sweet girl’s newborn session to the Brecksville Ohio baby photographer blog today! This sweet girl was such a dream to have in studio! She really knocked it out of the park. Check out some behind the scenes here.

Momma requested pinks, neutrals and floral headbands for her newborn baby photos. Sign me up! There is just something about flowers and babies. It really is a classic!

Little Miss is the first to try out our newborn prop from Luneberry. I was so excited to use it! Most photographers will tell you that usually when you get a new prop there’s a little bit of a learning curve on how to stuff it properly for baby. She was very patient with us and it worked out perfectly!

If you love seeing what goes into each photo, watch this video.

Newborn smiles can be tricky to catch. It’s actually pretty rare as a Brecksville Ohio baby photographer to catch one but Miss Megan worked her magic here to get this one!

Family photos are such an important part of your little one’s photography session. Nothing compares to seeing new parents with their babies! I highly encourage you to get in the photos. We even provide wardrobe so there’s no need to worry about what to wear.

That’s a wrap on this sweet girl’s newborn session! Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you loved these photos as much as we loved taking them.

Are you expecting a little one soon and are searching for a Brecksville Ohio baby photographer? I’d love to have you check out the newborn portfolio to see if we might be a good match. If so, please contact me today to chat about your vision. Newborn sessions are reserved by due dates and we take a limited number each month.
