Iowa Children’s Portrait Photography | Christian’s newborn session

Kristina Lynn — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 06:34:43 +0000

I think the BEST time to photograph newborns is when they are just around one week old. It’s great because they are still in the very sleepy stage and are super easy to work with. Take Christian for example, he and mom showed up to the session right about the time he should be getting hungry again. It worked out great because mom and I had a little time to chat about what outfits to wear and what images we wanted to capture, then I could set up my first background while she gave him a little of his bottle to make him really content. It worked like a charm! Since we really wanted to do some naked baby shots, we decided to start there first. I had just picked up some new pieces of fabric to use as baby wraps and was DYING to try a brown one out with him. I love how all the colors came together and really love how the extra texture of the fabric adds to the photo. I also tried out some other print fabric as a background with a simple white blanket. As soon as we wrapped him up in the blanket, he was out like a light! I absolutely LOVE how I was able to capture a few sleepy smiles from this little cutie. Enough to make anyone’s heart melt! You’ll also see photos of this little one at Dr. Gabrielson’s women’s clinic in Webster City very shortly. If you’d like to see more photos from little Christian’s session, check out the Children & Family gallery on my Facebook Page.

Iowa Children’s Portrait Photography | Aleigha’s newborn session

So as a part of my plan to expand my studio into Iowa, I have partnered with Dr. Gabrielson’s women’s health clinic and will be displaying some of my artwork in his Webster City office. So I have been getting the chance to meet some of his amazing patients and photographing their new little family additions Aleigha got to be my very first model! She is such a sweetie and has gorgeous eyes (I LOVE baby eyes!). She started off the session wide awake but by the end, we got the room warmed up and she feel fast asleep for some very cute naked, sleeping baby photos.

Iowa Newborn Portrait Photography | Introducing Quincy Jane!

A couple posts back, you might remember a beautiful maternity session that I did with my little sister, Kathleen. Well, now I’m proud to blog about the newest member of our family, my niece Quincy Jane, who came into this world last Tuesday afternoon. As soon as I could clear my schedule, I packed up my studio and road tripped down to Iowa to meet and photograph the little peanut. I transformed their living room into a make-shift studio and then in between visitors, diaper changes, feedings and wardrobe changes we played most of the afternoon away, capturing everything from smiles to yawns and stretches…oh and the occasional baby meltdown (wouldn’t be a newborn session without it!). Pretty sure I wore the little one out – you’re welcome Mom! These are just a few of my favorite images and I can’t WAIT until the 3 and 6 month sessions! Congratulations Kathleen & Jerad!
