Welcome to photos of this Gainesville newborn baby with Andrea Sollenberger Photography, Gainesville FL Newborn Photographer. My studio is designed especially with a maternity photo session and newborn photo session in mind. I love to make moms, dads and babies feel comfortable and right at home during their photo session. My goal is to provide comfort, make the session easy for new parents, and give my clients beautiful photographs of their earliest days with their newborn baby. These are keepsake newborn photos that they will cherish for a lifetime. Having a baby is one of the most meaningful experiences in life, and it is worth capturing this new joy with professional newborn photography!
RIVER’S NEWBORN BABY PHOTO SESSION
River’s mom Rachelle asked Andrea Sollenberger Photography about newborn photos for her little one and what a great newborn session we had. The best time to capture newborn photos is before your baby turns 3 weeks old! I was glad to fit this Gainesville newborn baby into the newborn schedule at two weeks. Calling early in the third trimester is a great way to get on the calendar and avoid scheduling disappointment.

During this mini session, brand new baby River posed naked for me on a beige chunky knit blanket in a rustic brown bowl. Against the brown wood floor and the backlight, his soft baby skin looks extra cuddly. When the light is just right against a baby, we notice how very perfect newborn details are.
River is just as handsome from a different angle. Photographed straight on and from above we get a bird’s eye view of his perfect baby features.
Andrea Sollenberger Photography has an extensive newborn prop collection and a beautiful newborn wardrobe available for newborn sessions. For more props or poses, then check out these newborn ideas.
NEWBORN BABY DETAILS!
Here is our naked newborn baby smiling and sleeping on his side with his tiny hands under his cheeks, perfectly framing his face against a white blanket.
And for a different look he poses sleeping with his little tush up and his tiny hands under his plump cheeks and chin. All that soft baby skin lets us see more of this beautiful baby.
Next River posed while sleeping with his hands under his cheeks and his teeny tiny toes cupping one little elbow. Can you count them? With a little extra posing we can see all ten teeny tiny toes wrapped around his little elbow!
We also captured him simply sleeping on his hands while resting forward. Pure and simple baby details remind us of a newborn baby’s first days. I always marvel at the beautiful soft baby skin of newborns.
For one last pose, naked newborn baby River gave us the froggy pose. With tiny hands cupping his cheeks and chin and all his toes around his elbows River sleeps on. We captured this image as a composite of two photos put together in photoshop. Newborn safety takes first place, so baby’s head is fully supported at all times while capturing this photo!
Grandma came along for this photo session. Here is a portrait of River sleeping in the arms of this very happy and gorgeous grandma! Grandma Debbie smiles from the heart, thrilled to be a part of the session and to get a keepsake newborn photo taken with her first grandchild. This Gainesville newborn baby was a treat to photograph from start to finish! Priceless moments captured forever.

This is a great collection of images of Baby River. What a treasure!
Thank you Elise! River’s family is so pleased to have thises photos and it was my pleasure to work with them. Thanks for your comment!
River seems to be curled up just like he would be inside his mama. How precious to recall those feelings that only a mom experiences.
This most certainly has been an added treat for grandma to come along and enjoy the photo session. What a priceless portrait for her to cherish as her first grandchild.
Your comments Susan are so true. Mom’s experience is so different than everyone else’s, and she remembers her baby posing in these positions in utero! For Grandma to be at tghe newborn baby photo session was a treat! So glad to capture her with her first grandson just days old. Thank you for your thoughtful words!
Andrea Sollenberger Photography reminds me of how precious and tiny newborns begin. Her work highlights the beautiful, perfectly formed little baby parts that change so quickly as the weeks, months and years of childhood progresses. What a beautiful collection of newborn baby photos that Andrea provides to each family who chooses to trust her with capturing this very special time in their lives. River is a beautiful baby and his photos are darling. I love how Andrea gives her time to each client to personalize their sessions with respect to color, style, design and even who will be included in the photograph. I love the beaming Grandmother proudly cuddling sweet baby River. Andrea’s attention to detail and artistry shine through each unique photograph.
Thank you for your kind comments Christine. Babies do change so quickly and their newness fades in our memory without photos of newborn baby just as he was in the earlies days. I am grateful for every family who chooses to trust me with their little baby and their early memories of him. I am grateful to you for your insight and helpful feedback!
River looks like such a happy baby! He looks so comfortable snuggled up in the blanket with the basket! Such a handsome baby boy!
You do such a good job on capturing these sweet moments.
Hi there Madeline! River is indeed a happy newborn baby, comfortable and snuggly in his poses. I am so glad that you enjoyed photos these from his newborn session!
I love the simple rustic photos of River in the wooden bowl, he looks snuggly and I like how these photos of River in the bowl capture the delicate features of him! Andrea, your photos show your passion and love for creating beautiful keepsake photos for your clients!
Thank you so much Marty for your kind words and helpful comments! I do so love to create beautiful newborn photos for mom and dad to have long after their little one is grown! I look forward to seeing you here again!
River, such a perfect name for him as he seems like such a peaceful newborn baby. The images are beautiful and as always;Andrea does a superb job capturing the personalities of each little one. I love how she was able to get different expressions from him and I especially love the froggy pose!
It’s always a pleasure to have you stop by for a read and leave a comment. Your feedback is truly appreciated Debbie! (I love River in his newborn froggy pose too!)
Oh that sweet squishy baby!! Such a wonderful experience, but even more important is baby’s safety. So glad you mentioned that part too!
Truly great to hear from you Michelle, and wonderful to emphasize the importance of newborn posing safety. Thank you very much for your comments.
Sweet, sweet, sweet baby River! I love how this newborn session turned out. He is so cute)
River is the sweetest little newborn baby. Working with him was a joy! Thank you for taking the time to leave your helpful comments, Victoria!
Love the posing especially where you can see all 10 of his tiny toes. Your work is beautiful and the posing is amazing.
Thank you so much Seraphine. I apppreciate your feedback and I am so glad that you enjoyed these newborn photos!
It’s amazing the curled tight poses that you can get with newborns. And every newborn baby photo is gorgeous!
Newborns are not all this flexible. Some can do most poses but all are most flexible in their earliest days and weeks. The sooner the newborn photo session takes place, the greater the chance of these tight curled up poses! So glad you enjoy my newborn blog posts!
Really love the naked newborn baby photos. And it’s very nice that newborn Grandma photos were taken! Pretty and young grandma! Nice photo gallery!
Naked newborn photography is one of my favorites too, so pure and fresh, just the way baby was on day one! So glad that you enjoyed this set of pictures! Thanks for commenting!
