Little Miss Emma’s mom sent me a message requesting a Pure Baby session to capture her daughter at one month old. I’m always excited for these shoots, not only because I love babies and meeting new people, but these simple, natural and quick sessions are some of my favourites. It a great way to capture baby’s milestone ages in a mini session, or like in Emma’s case for those who missed the window for newborn photos in studio. At one month old I approach photographing baby very similar to how I do a newborn under two weeks old – I cuddle and I swaddle baby placing them on the same backdrops and in the same props but I don’t spend long periods of time trying to get baby to sleep. However, when baby is this little they love the heat and the white noise in the studio and sometimes they fall asleep for a few moments. This means mom and dad get some sleepy baby photos similar to a newborn session. That’s exactly what happened with little Emma. We captured her sweet expressions, her sleepy face, her itty bitty details and even a smile all in less than 30 minutes. Now you see why I love these sessions so much, right? It’s always interesting to see what photos come out of that 1/2 hour spent with baby.
Congratulations on your beautiful new daughter! Here are their 12 photos from our mini session together.
