Newborn photography sessions are always a joy to photograph, especially when you get to work with adorable babies like Irine. As a photographer in Calgary AB, I was excited to capture Irine’s first few moments of life and create memories that her family can cherish forever.
Irine was a beautiful baby girl with the most charming smile. As soon as they arrived at my home studio in Okotoks, I greeted her parents parents with warmth and welcomed them into my cozy studio space where I had all the set ups ready to go. Her parents opted for a petite session, which meant that we had approximately one hour to capture some great photos.
To start the session, we wrapped Irine in a soft, cozy blanket and placed her in a wicker basket that I had picked out from my selection of props. I couldn’t help but admire how peaceful she looked as she slept through the session. Her little fingers and toes were just too adorable not to capture. We took our time and carefully positioned her in different poses, ensuring that she was comfortable at all times.
As the session went on, Irine started to wake up, and we captured some shots of her awake and alert. Her big bright eyes sparkled with wonder as she took in her surroundings, and her little hands explored the textures of the blankets and props.
Despite the limited time, we were able to capture some truly breathtaking images of Irine. Her smile and sweet expressions melted our hearts, and we knew that these photos would be treasured by her family for years to come. As the session came to an end, we wrapped Irine up once again and took a few more photos before saying our goodbyes.
Photographing newborns is a special experience that I always cherish. Every baby is unique, and it’s amazing to see their personalities start to emerge even at such a young age. Irine was no exception, and I feel so lucky to have been able to capture these beautiful moments for her family. Petite sessions may be short, but they can still result in some fantastic images that will be cherished for a lifetime.
