If you’ve been in my studio lately you probably recognize this baby and family. I have a large heirloom box with matted portraits that they have selected from their recent maternity and newborn sessions. With an acrylic inset framed lid and rich Italian leather covering this heirloom box is one of my clients’ favorite keepsake products.
Laura originally contacted me when she was looking for a maternity photographer in the Gainesville, Florida area. She came in to meet me, check out what our studio has to offer in terms of props and comfort, see if it matched up with what others are saying about our service, look at display products so that she could think about her product purchase, and take the time to see if my personality and photography style was a good fit for her. I always love meeting with moms before maternity or newborn photoshoots as our planning and styling for their unique session is about to begin. Finding a photographer that “gets you” and sees your vision for photos can make all the difference in getting the meaningful photos that you dream of having 5, 10, 25 years from now.
And when you are comfortable with your photographer, then you will enjoy the process and look relaxed and natural in your photos.
We had a ball capturing Laura’s baby bump in maternity photos. And after little Madison was born, we continued our fun and made newborn photos. These are some of my favorites from Madison’s newborn session.
Laura and Ryan adore Madison and find themselves mesmerized by her beautiful features and form. This baby has been so anticipated and is finally here! Madison is their fourth child and they feel their family is now complete.
What we wouldn’t do for our children when they are little! And what we wouldn’t do for one day, one moment, one glimpse at this stage once again.
Here’s to a beautiful baby girl!!
And I am looking forward to photos later this year that will include the whole family from these repeat customers who I now call friends.
Record each stage of your children’s growing up years. Take the time to document your love and the warmth of affection that connects you as family. Looking for a maternity or newborn photographer? Click here and let’s start planning your session today!

Allison Anderson says
Madison is adorable! It is wonderful to make such great connections with your client. It definitely makes their newborn photography experience more rewarding.
Andrea Sollenberger says
Without emotion in photos, the pictures will remind us of a time but they may not rekindle our feelings of how special those times were. It is a privilege when clients relax and let me guide them into poses that show their genuine emotions! Thanks for stopping by!
Nicole Manan says
What a beautiful gallery, You can tell that you newborn photography is your absolute passion!
Andrea Sollenberger says
Thanks Nicole for taking the time to comment and think through what matters most. I adore newborns and our time with them is so short…because they grow out of their brand new fresh look so quickly. Just love holding on to their tiny brand new look for moms and dads!
