Capturing Gainesville newborn moments with Andrea Sollenberger Photography, Gainesville FL Newborn Photographer, Katie and Ben welcome newborn baby Chloe. Their little angel is the light of their life. With the arrival of a new baby, a new love is cultivated and an overwhelming joy is ushered into the hearts of new parents. I hope you enjoy this baby blog post about Katie and Ben’s newborn baby Chloe.
I have known Katie for a couple of years, and she began talking about photos with Andrea Sollenberger Photography early in her pregnancy. Thinking ahead, she took advantage of the Maternity Newborn Session Bundle which discounts these two photo sessions when they are booked together. We had plenty of time after her maternity photo session to plan for her newborn photo session. The best time to capture studio newborn photos is before baby turns 2 weeks old! Chloe’s Gainesville newborn moments were captured on day 10!
GAINESVILLE NEWBORN MOMENTS WITH PARENTS
We started our newborn session with mom dressed in lace, smiling, hugging and cherishing some cuddle time with her tiny newborn baby girl, Chloe. Chloe is happily swaddled in a cream wrap and adorned with a floral headband.
For a different look and a focus on this new relationship between mom and daughter, Katie closes her eyes and simply loves on her baby, cherishing one newborn cuddle at a time!
Proud dad, Ben, is looking with wonder as he holds his tiny newborn baby. With her eyes wide open, it appears Chloe is listening to his familiar voice.
Photos that capture Gainesville newborn moments include Katie and Ben’s first family portrait. Mom and Dad together hold their tiny newborn baby girl Chloe. Pride, gratitude and immeasurable love for Chloe flow through their smiles in this newborn portrait.
If mom is able, there is a pose I always love capturing in my Gainesville Florida newborn photography sessions. This is mom and baby reclining comfortably as though snuggling in bed. Here Mom is still dressed in lace and poses lying on white fur as she holds and loves her tiny newborn baby girl. One more newborn cuddle! Chloe will change so much and so soon!
NEWBORN STUDIO PROPS
For some photos using props, I swaddled Chloe in a stretchy pink knit wrap and donned her with a matching pink bear bonnet. She poses as a potato sack in a pink, fur stuffed lace basket. The lace accents, wood floor and backlight each add to the magic!
With Katie’s color choices for home décor in mind, I styled a newborn floral set up for Chloe. Baby Chloe poses in a basket wearing a delicate newborn floral headband and rests against white fur. She is surrounded by dusty blue, pink, peach and ivory flowers against the creamy wood floor.
I love the close up showing more newborn baby details as Chloe is still posed in the basket. Chloe’s eyelashes, her lips, her dainty chin, her tiny newborn baby hands, and her soft baby skin all speak the message of brand new life.
Andrea Sollenberger Photography has an extensive newborn prop collection and a beautiful newborn wardrobe available for newborn sessions. If you’re looking for some more props or poses, check out more newborn pictures.
GAINESVILLE NEWBORN MOMENTS-JUST BABY!
Gainesville Newborn moments with Chloe also included the always favored blanket poses. Chloe posed on a dusty pink blanket with a pink handmade knit headband. Her newborn baby hands cup her cheeks and she is lying on her side.
Next she wears a dusty blue, pink and lavender nerwborn floral headband. She poses on her belly with bottom up, resting her head on the back of her hands.
With a few adjustments, while she was sleeping like a princess, Chloe posed resting her chin as well as her cheeks on her hands. There are so many beautiful ways to see, appreciate, and photograph newborn babies!
It is just baby in these photos. Pure and simple! Newborn baby details remind us of a newborn’s first days, perhaps even of the moment baby was first handed to mom and dad at birth. I always marvel at the beautiful soft baby skin of newborns. These Gainesville newborn moments were a treat to photograph!
Be sure to remember how very tiny your baby was. Will you remember their teeny tiny toes, the soft baby skin that you love to kiss, or their cuddly rolls? Capture your first Gainesville newborn moments. By doing so, newborn photography records not only the tiny little details, but also the beginning of budding new relationships between family members.

I love the pale pink that Andrea used in some of the images, it really complimented the baby’s skin tone. Andrea also captured several images of the baby with her eyes open which is nice. Chloe is adorable and her parents are going to love these photos!
Thank you Debbie! I am glad for your helpful comments. Mom and Dad are delighted with these photos!
Chloe is adorable and Andrea captured every one of her wonderful features and all of the emotion associated with her arrival.
Lynette, I appreciate your positive feedback. Preserving these Gainesville newborn moments with photos that capture Chloe’s baby features and the emotions of her arrival, as you said, is important!
Every photo is absolutely beautiful! I love the family photos, which will be so cherished! One of my favorite photos is of Chloe all wrapped up in pink snuggled so sweetly in the basket and the other one is where she is just wearing the floral headband and is sound asleep! The photo captures her sweet lips, cute little nose and the soft skin to perfection!
Oh thank you so much, Marty! I am glad that you enjoyed this post and set of photos so much, especially all of those baby details. Thanks for taking the time to read this blog post.
The floral wreath highlighting baby Chloe is perfect to remind us of spring and new life. I love all of the perfect little details of Andreas work, she captures the most endearing poses of a newborn baby. These portraits will be treasured forever.
I am grateful for your input and kind words, Susie. You notice those little things that are so important to newborn moms and dads!
