Baby Henrietta's Newborn Session | Lynchburg Newborn Photographer

Lynchburg Newborn Photographer

Oh this session was full of so. much. love!!

But let’s rewind! During Samantha’s complimentary wardrobe consultation, I was sharing the importance of feeling comfortable in what you wear during a photo session. I mentioned to her that I recently had a family wear pajamas at their session because that is what they felt represented them best as a family. My previous client had said they lounge at home in their PJs and she wanted pictures to reflect that. I loved the idea! This comment sat with Samantha because just a few days before her session she called me and asked me what I thought of her changing plans and wearing pajamas for part of their session. I was thrilled she was giving serious thought to her wardrobe choices and I fully supported her consideration of wearing pjs. We settled on a more dressed-up outfit combination and one more comfy. I honestly LOVE the way their pictures came out!

Samantha chose to treat herself and have her hair and makeup done by our professional hair and makeup artist while her husband, Kevin, grabbed a quick snooze on the couch. That’s always the biggest compliment to me; when a parent feels comfortable enough to fall asleep while I work one-on-one with their newborn! Once I finished photos of sweet Henrietta alone, Samantha slipped into a beautiful dress from our studio wardrobe and we transitioned to family portraits. Overall, I am absolutely in love with their finally gallery and they were a wonderful family to work with!

Enjoy a few of my favorites from their gallery!
