Alyssa knew she wanted to celebrate the love of this special baby girl with newborn photos. Skipping newborn photos altogether was something that she knew she would regret. For those new moms and dads who are working with a tight budget but still want professional newborn photos of their baby, mini sessions are sometimes offered by newborn photographers.
At Andrea Sollenberger Photography Mini Newborn photo sessions are available for just baby. Or, with an upgrade, there is a Newborn Mini Plus session that adds portraits with mom, dad and a first family portrait. Mini newborn photo sessions are perfect for those who still want professional newborn photography but cannot afford our full gallery of 25 digital images with portrait order. Add-on images to mini sessions are available for purchase if parents want to add just a few more and time permits. These studio newborn mini photo sessions are of the same photographic quality and editing, and with the same variety of studio props, as Full Newborn Sessions (3 hours). The difference is that a mini session lasts 1 hour, includes a limited number of poses, and baby is swaddled in wraps instead of a combination of wrapped and naked photos.
MINI NEWBORN PHOTO SESSION FOR NEWBORN GIRL AVA
Alyssa scheduled a mini newborn photo session for her newborn girl Ava. In their 1 hour mini session we captured these beautiful newborn photos.
At first, I swaddled Ava in an ivory lace. Ava posed on a floral bed with a coordinated floral head tie. I love the close up image with a throw of backlight that highlights her gorgeous baby eyelashes and tiny baby fingers!
You never know when babies will give a smile. But I caught her smiling in this floral newborn bed set up! Looking pretty Ava! She gave a great big newborn smile!
Her profile is just as beautiful or even moreso! I love the soft backlight that glows on her beautiful baby skin. So soft and silky, so smooth. She is an angel, just the perfect baby. Her delicate face is adorned with a floral newborn headband! All of these baby details will soon change and begin to take on a new look, but for now she is just a beautiful brand new baby. What a treasure to catch a time which is going by so quickly with a mini newborn photo session.
AVA’S BEAUTIFUL BABY SKIN!
Even when wrapped, you see the beautiful baby skin of Ava.
A close up again shows off those gorgeous baby eyelashes and precious, tiny baby fingers against her ivory lace. Those little hands and tiny baby fingers!
PROPS FOR MINI NEWBORN PHOTO SESSIONS
Mini newborn photo sessions usually include two props from the newborn prop collection. This session shows four props from the studio, which can be added as session time permits. The additional newborn props and images allow for added variety and the option for mom and dad to buy extra images as they choose.
Without waking up, we moved to the next newborn prop. Ava posed and slept wrapped in navy lace in a basket on a large embroidered doily. Her matching floral head tie adds such a feminine touch! She is adorned with accents of red, white and blue to remind mom that Ava was due on July 4!
This sea green wooden crate adds a touch of color, a new shape and contrast for a different look.
And who doesn’t love a newborn baby in a bucket photo! This baby in a bucket is decked out with pearls. Ava is too cute!
It is my honor and joy to create beautiful images of your perfect newborn babies. My goal is to give my clients beautiful photographs of meaningful times that they will cherish for a lifetime. Having a baby is one of the most monumental experiences in life. It t is worth capturing this new joy with professional newborn photography!
