Newborn Photography Richmond | Another Little Man

This little man came in just after Christmas. Although we’d originally had him scheduled for early December when he was brand new, the family had to reschedule.  We still managed to pull off some amazing photos even though he was about a month old at the time. We always say it’s ideal to have a baby in during the first 2 weeks, but older babies can often be great to work with too!!  This family was a big fan of all my props - I invest a lot of money annually to keep them updated, and often de-stash and freshen them up by getting rid of older ones.  Some of the key items will always be available, but we often change up things like hats and baskets.  I’m always on the look-out for something new!!! Everywhere I go, I grab items thinking “ I can totally put a baby in that!”.Some items work better for certain ages, some only work for certain sizes.  I only do what is safest for baby. And if an item is too small, or baby is awake and I feel it’s dangerous, then we do not use that item.  I always have your baby’s health and safety in mind, no matter how bad we want the shot!I’m always trying to keep things new and fresh, and i try to ensure your baby’s photos are unique! I’ve collected many props over the years, and with each new season I’m always collecting more.  A few recent shopping trips have brought hundreds of dollars in new backdrops and props into the studio already this year!!   I do my best to ensure friends and family are not using the same items, unless its specifically requested. And even then, I try to keep your child’s photos special to just them.  Newborn sessions include up to 4 prop selections, sometimes on different backdrops, sometimes we repeat a backdrop if it’s way too cute!  We also generally do two bean bag backdrops. These are the fabric backdrops in which baby is just on their own.  I highly encourage parents to bring items in that are unique to them, even better when they have sentimental meaning! Bring in your old baby blanket, or something a family member has made.  Bring in something from your wedding and we’ll try to incorporate it!  Always great to have an emotional element and an item that will be with you for life in your baby’s photos.
