we hired mollie from bloom photography to come to our home to take pictures of e when she was a week old. this is one of my favorites. she’s so tiny + peaceful. i’m happy we took time during the oh-so-tiring newborn stage to take these. it’s hard to believe that tomorrow she will be eight weeks old. how fast they grow! cliche but oh so true.
ps – mollie was fantastic! she was so patient [especially when e decided she needed to nurse during the session even though she had just done so right before the shoot]. and she really took her time so that e wouldn’t wake up while she was positioning her. if you’re in or around austin, you should hire her. if not, i highly recommend finding a photographer that specializes in babies to photograph your newborn. i think it’s much different than photographing adults or even children.
That is completely precious.
She’s a sweetheart. Beautiful photo!
That is absolutely lovely! I was very into going cheap on the baby-raising when our girl was first born, so it never even occurred to me to commission newborn portraits. Now that I see beautiful examples like yours, I’m so sad we didn’t think of it while the precious opportunity was still there…. You’ll treasure them!
So kissable! Baby photos are such a treasure and so worth it.
