I love to experiment with lighting during maternity sessions. Dramatic studio lighting in black-and-white gives an image that “wow factor.” Jaxson is JNP’s newest baby membership baby, and I am so excited to see him grow throughout his first year! He was a dream to transition into the much-admired and ever-popular bucket pose.

When the Kellinger family reached out to me for another maternity session, I knew we had to take advantage of all the Fall colors outdoors! Because Karley’s arrival was so close to Christmas, Mom thought the idea of a Christmas-themed newborn session sounded perfect!

I always like to include macro shots of your bundle of joy during their newborn session. The shots focus on the little details you ogle over in the first few weeks of their life, but are some of the first we forget! My favorite is the wrinkles in the bottom of their feet, but their adorable little nose, beautiful lips, and dainty lashes are not to be passed up.

These first two images posted below sum up Baylor’s newborn session pretty accurately. Awake and alert! Have no fear, the sleepy dust did make its way into the studio after some extra snuggles (no complaints about that here!) and some milk from Mom. I’m not sure what I love more though, newborn lovey snuggles, or a beautiful candid moment between mom and her youngest son.

Sweet Tellulah arrived at JNP studio at nine days old with her proud siblings and doting parents. Tellulah, nicknamed Lulah (how adorable is that?!), had us “aww-ing” throughout her entire session.
