Rhett's Newborn Photo Session | Central Ohio Newborn Photographer

Rhett’s Newborn Photo Session | Central Ohio Newborn Photographer

 

I met Rhett’s mama, Ashley, in high school. A whopping 15 years ago! When I learned she was expecting her second child I was so happy for their family. She contacted me to schedule maternity portraits but was nervous about looking her best. As some of you know, pregnancy can make us feel a bit unflattering. Ashley was so happy with her maternity portraits and was glad I took my time getting the best angles of her during her maternity session in my studio.

The day of Rhett’s newborn session their arrived and he was fast asleep. That is, until the moment we began the session - haha! He woke up and gave me some yawns and big-eyed glares, which I happen to love! He didn’t last long though. Between my white noise machine, cozy space heater and soft swaddling, he was out like a light. Ashley and her husband were able to sit back and relax while I gently posed their little one on my newborn beanbag poser. I only use the most safe, baby-led poses for babies. That means I don’t offer any images where your baby might need a spotter and then have to composite images together, such as the “froggy” pose. I prefer to capture babies in the most natural way and my clients seem to love it too!

I loved working with this sweet family for the second time and can’t wait to watch Rhett grow up! Here are my favorite images from his newborn session in my Grove City, Ohio studio!

The P family won a family session giveaway I held when I reached 1,000 likes on Facebook. I was so thrilled to tell them that they won - you see, this family has been through so much. Between cancer battles, adoptions and more - they were truly deserving of this family giveaway! Mom, Stephanie, loved the idea of a true, Summer session. Flowers, a creek, and cotton dresses. I knew just the location to take them in Grove City! Gantz Park has a beautiful garden full of flowers, ivy and herbs. They also have a very shallow creek that is easily accessed at the park itself. There is also a really fun, newly renovated playground for littles to enjoy after they do a great job during the photo session.

Baby Arowyn’s mom emailed me to schedule her second daughter’s newborn session. She loved my style of using a lot of whites and natural poses. I was able to schedule her on the calendar right away and we got to planning her session.

She had a lot of really lovely ideas and had a really timeless style. One of her ideas involved bringing a purple quilt made by a family member. She wanted to incorporate it somehow, so I told her to bring it along and I would design a setup using the blanket. It’s important to me that you LOVE your images, and if that means you bring along a sentimental heirloom-so be it! I don’t typically use purple but I truly believe in making my clients happy and I know this mama’s heart was so excited to see this quilt in her daughter’s portraits. You’ll see the image at the end of this blog post! Take a look!

Ethan’s mom contacted me to schedule her first child’s newborn session. She loved the idea of choosing someone who offered a natural approach to newborn photography. We scheduled her session with a tentative date. I always let clients know their date is tentative in case their due date changes. Which we all know happens quite often. If your due date changes by more than 4-5 days I usually alter the session date to make sure your baby is between 7-14 days old by their session.

Columbus Ohio Newborn Photography Studio | Baby Oliver’s Studio Session

Stephanie contacted me through my Facebook business page hoping to schedule a full newborn session in my Grove City newborn studio. Her baby boy was already born and hoped to snag a last minute opening. Although I do suggest you schedule your session before your baby is born, I try my hardest to schedule in last minute sessions. It makes things so much easier for you to schedule and plan your session before your baby is born so you can mark it off as done on your mental check list. You also don’t need to sit and research to find the best photographer after your baby is born and living on 3 hours of sleep.

Once Stephanie was all booked we started planning her session! She had a boy named Oliver with the most gorgeous head of hair. We discussed any of her requests to which she shared she wanted some nice family photos, a great sibling shot and timeless newborn photos of her baby boy. She was nervous that her oldest wouldn’t cooperate for photos. I let her know I would do my very best to make sure we captured some photos of them together. My sibling photos are pretty natural and very safe. I always keep a parent just off to the side, out of camera, to give a helping hand to the kiddos.
