Austin, Texas Newborn Photographer | Baby Henry’s Newborn Session
Baby Henry’s Session | Austin, Texas Newborn Photography
How precious is this little dude? The squishy rolls? The cheeks? The LIPS!? Baby Henry was such an adorable guy! I was so excited to meet Henry and his wonderful parents. This family was referred to me by a wonderful postpartum doula who I know in Austin. Before our session, Mom sent me an iPhone shot of Baby Henry and I literally gasped out loud. He is just SO handsome and I swear he has some of the best baby lippies I’ve ever seen! I was so excited to take his newborn portraits at my Austin, Texas newborn photography studio. Henry weighed 8lbs 6oz at birth, so when he came into my East Austin studio for his newborn photos at 14 days old he was the perfect little chunk. Every newborn photographer will tell you they LOVE photographing a chunky baby!
Those lips!
I absolutely loved Henry in this shade of soft-blue. That little lip purse he gave us in this photo is so darling! Baby blue is one of my most favorite colors, but it’s not one that is requested very often. The majority of my boy-moms request green. Green is great! But nothing is better than blue, in my opinion!
Snug as a Bug!
Henry much preferred being wrapped. Although he was a little fussy when we started his session, as soon as I got him all swaddled up he slept like a dream. I had just received this gorgeous mustard wool flokati rug in the mail from my favorite newborn photography prop vendor, Luneberry, and I was so excited to use it. Mom and I were really in-sync when it came to our favorite colors, which is always great! She loved this mustard look and so did I. In fact, she was so complimentary of this mustard setup that I made sure to quickly plan another mustard setup in my head to add on to Henry’s newborn photography session. Mustard isn’t a color I receive requests for often, so when I do I really go for it!
Little Boy Blue
It didn’t matter the shade, Henry looked GREAT in blue! This darker shade really complimented his fair skin tone. I added a bonnet to this setup and I heard Mom make an audible, “Awwwww!” behind me when I put it on. Moms almost always love when I put bonnets on their baby. I love how the bonnet frames Henry’s perfectly round chunky cheeks. He really is such a handsome guy, isn't he?
Bright & Boho
This setup was my favorite by-far! And guess what? It was Mom’s favorite, too! She commented on how the boho vibe of this setup was so similar to the style in which they decorate their home, which made me so happy to hear! I have been collecting vintage Turkish rugs for years and they are probably my favorite special touch I incorporate into my Austin newborn photography sessions. I love offering my clients something unique in their newborn photos and vintage Turkish rugs are definitely not something you see in most newborn photos. I get so excited when I have clients that specifically request I use them for their baby’s photography session. My Austin, Texas newborn photography studio has a collection of different colors to choose from, but this one is definitely one of my favorites! This hand-carved wooden newborn bed is also one of my most requested props. There is nothing cuter than a tiny baby in a tiny bed, is there? One of my main goals during my newborn photography sessions is to capture images that can be displayed as art on the walls of my clients’ homes. Therefore, I try to stay away from anything too ‘cutesy’ that would need to be relegated to just the nursery. Mom couldn’t wait to order a large print of this newborn portrait to hang in their home. It truly looked perfect as a beautiful wood-framed canvas and I was so happy to help make that vision come to life!
READY TO SECURE YOUR BABY’S DUE DATE IN MY CALENDAR?
If you’re currently in (or near!) your Second-Trimester, now is the time to inquire about reserving your Newborn Photography Session! Inquires continue to come into my inbox daily and I am currently booking all the way into 2022 for Newborn Photography Sessions with limited availability remaining for 2021. Because I only accept 8 newborn clients per month at maximum, my calendar fills up very quickly. Booking your baby’s newborn photoshoot is stress-free and easy, just like the rest of our experience working together. Once we reserve your tentative, penciled-in date, you can sit back and relax while I take of absolutely everything. I am so excited to get to know your family and plan the custom session you’re dreaming of!
