Getting “the shot” gets a little trickier as these kiddos get older, but the final images are highly entertaining. This little escape artist knew exactly how to get laughs out of everyone in the room! Needless to say, baby girl was not a fan. But with a bit of magic and strategically placed puffs, we captured a few smiles. I think we all can agree that there isn’t much that a warm bubble bath can’t fix.

Now that it’s starting to get warmer, let’s throw it back to November, shall we? This Christmas tree farm holds special meaning to this family. Finding those perfectly shaded pockets was tricky, but we used the slowly setting sun to our advantage and found some beautiful spots!

These ages can be tricky regarding family sessions, but this family seems to have it figured out. Snack breaks, funny noises, movement, distraction techniques, and going with the flow are essential. My assistant entertains the kiddos off to the side while Mom and Dad get a mini date night moment, even if only for a couple of minutes.

To this family’s surprise, a sweet baby girl graced their presence weighing in at a perfect 7lb. If you’ve been to the studio, you might even recognize this family. This session was full of neutral tones, soft feminine touches, and texture.

This girl exudes an incredible amount of personality. Simone has danced to the beat of her own drum since she was in diapers. That warm embrace between Simone and her dad says it all. After the outdoor portion of their family session, it was time to head back to the studio for some family portraits…wicked style!

These two are no strangers to JNP. Big sister is a seasoned baby membership cutie, and little brother is following in her footsteps. There aren’t many things cuter than a baby sitting on a tiny bench. Rest assured, my assistant is always close by for the safety and well-being of your baby.

It was a beautiful evening in a gorgeous location with new JNP clients. I wasn’t sure this night could get much better…and then it did. It usually takes one person acting silly to pull genuine, authentic smiles out of each other! For that very reason, I love the image in the middle below.

This was a unique session because this newborn client was on the older side of my “newborn sessions.” This family contacted me because they wanted a newborn session for their three-month-old son. I typically photograph newborns in their first two weeks of life, but I have successfully photographed older newborns many times before.

When this family came into the studio to map out Nina’s upcoming session, she gave me the sweetest smiles and was so content! For baby membership babies, I always use the same prop at each of their milestone sessions. This puts their growth into a teary-eyed perspective.
