newborn girl photo session {Boulder newborn photographer}

We had the most beautiful newborn girl photo session last week.  Little Genna came to the studio for her newborn photos and I think she was the sleepiest baby I have ever photographed.  In a typical newborn session, I have about 6 different setups ready, and Genna slept through all of them so easily that we had time for more.  Starting by swaddling her in white and surrounding her in a wreath of tulips, our first pose was just stunning.  For every baby girl, I like to do a flower set up.  In the warmer months we go out to my garden for one pose, and when it’s cold outside we stay inside the warm studio and use fresh flowers.  Since Genna’s a spring baby and her nursery is decorated with a Peter Rabbit theme, tulips were my flower of choice.  I always purchase flowers for newborn sessions the morning of the session so they’re fresh and perfect.  We stayed with a color scheme of whites, creams, yellows and pinks (and a touch of lavender) because that’s what matches her nursery.  After all of the beautiful beanbag poses, I layed her down in a little wooden crate that I had filled with skeins of pink fluffy wool.  I love the texture and color of this wool so much.  It’s the little things like color and texture that elevate a newborn session from a simple photo shoot to fine art photography.  Genna slept like a dream in a little twig nest with a lavender blanket I had just finished knitting.  Last, we took some photos of Genna with her gorgeous, happy mom.  Photographing mothers with their babies is so important to me.  If I had a beautiful photo of my mom holding me when I was a baby, that image would be framed in my room.  I was so happy to meet this loving mom and to help her welcome her baby girl into the world with custom photography.  Enjoy this peek!
