I’m convinced that if anyone looked up the word “personality” in the dictionairy, Alina’s picture would be the definition! This one year/ cake smash session was so dreamy in so many ways. One of my favorite things about Alina’s one year session was how much she LOVED music. She took a total of one bite of her cake and danced the rest of the time!

Before I get into detail about this Newborn session, can we just take a moment for this hair?! Diego was a picture perfect model when he came into the studio at just 9 days old.

14 day old Justin (and his full head of hair) came into the studio with big brother ready for their close ups.

Meet the most cooperative children in the world. Avery was the proudest big sister and was so happy to comply with all of my requests. I love this first sister image so much that I actually have it hanging in my studio. Smiles all around!

For Henry’s big day, he got to take over the JNP Studio—both inside and out.  Although his official first birthday fell last March, we waited for the perfect spring day to schedule his photoshoot.  (Fortunately, that didn’t take too long.)  On April 28th, we had sunny, warm weather; just right for a Cake Smash and cleanup.

Working with newborns requires a bit of flexibility before, during, and even after the photoshoot.  Take little Luke, for example.  When he decided to come 3 weeks early—much to Mom and Dad’s delight—we quickly moved things around to welcome him at the JNP Studio.  He surprised everyone at 37 weeks, but fortunately, made his debut as a healthy, happy newborn!  

While most of the newborn sessions at the JNP Studio feature Mom and Dad in some way, the Doudt family brought a surprise when they came to see me last April.  Baby Audrey, at 13 days old, was accompanied by her older brother, Wyatt, her parents, and even her grandmother!  Before the day was over, we were able to capture these really special images with three generations of women in this family.

Can you believe the New Year is less than 2 weeks away?  Although winter is just getting started here, my photographer brain is already planning ahead for spring sessions!  Maybe I’m just feeling inspired by one of my favorite photoshoots from 2019.  Featuring the Chandra-Lee family, who’s been with me since the beginning of Jessica Neumann Photography.  Honestly, these portraits remind me why I started this small business in the first place.

When one of your oldest friends has a baby, how do you find time to catch up? Recently, I had the rare privilege of mixing my personal and professional lives thanks to this handsome guy! On top of photographing newborn Camden, I also got to share the joy of this perfect baby with parents Carly and Conor.
