When my friend Jenna found out she was pregnant, she asked me if I could take newborn portraits once the baby arrived. I was nervous, since I'd never done a newborn shoot before, but I had 9 months to prepare after all, so of course I agreed! And I do really just love babies!!
Baby Bobenich arrived on January 9th, 2015 and we made plans to do the shoot a week later. After reading everything I could find (books, blogs, articles..) on newborn shoots and watching countless youtube videos, I learned that the first 10 days are the best for these types of shoots. That way baby is a little less alert and sleepy.
We set up the shoot in the master bedroom, with layers of towels and blankets on the bed, and a space heater on full blast (note to self, do not wear a sweater next time!) to keep baby nice and toasty. The shoot took longer than any I've done before (I expected this) and was also my favorite! Little Bailey was such a sweet baby and I could have taken her picture for days!
We did a few different set ups and experimented a bit, and of course got a few with big sister Paige! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Enjoy!
