It’s always a beautiful experience when I see repeat clients because that usually means even more adorable babies and sweet additions to families I’ve loved working with! I was thrilled to hear from this newborn mom and dad—and to learn that baby Kelsey had arrived. Just as soon as they booked their session, ideas were running through my head, and I was excited to start planning!
I was honored to photograph their first son, Christian, three years ago, and this time around, I wanted to plan a session that would be unique to their newest addition—but still coordinate with his big brother’s portraits. We all put our heads together to share ideas and inspiration so that baby Kelsey’s photos would be a one-of-a-kind collection of keepsakes for the family to enjoy for years to come.
A NEW BABY SON TO SNUGGLE & LOVE
This photo of mom and baby is so precious. It shows the joy and love this new mom has for her baby, and it conveys the unbreakable bond they’ll always share. With tiny Kelsey wrapped snuggly in a white swaddle and held against mom’s chest, there’s a peaceful sense of security that lulls him into the soundest sleep.
PROUD DADDY MOMENTS
It won’t be long before this little guy is on the move and chasing his big brother around the house, so it’s super important to capture the tranquil newborn moments when we can. As baby Kelsey rests in his dad’s strong arms, he looks perfectly content to nap the day away knowing he’s protected and loved.
This photo is a favorite of mine because of dad’s expression. His look of adoration as he gazes down at his new little boy is priceless, and it’s easy to see the love and pride that surround this little one.
GRINS ALL AROUND TO WELCOME NEWBORN BABY KELSEY
It’s easy to see that the entire family is over the moon about little Kelsey’s arrival! Their beaming smiles say it all, and I’m sure this little one already feels all the adoration that’s surrounding him.
Take a look at their coordinated outfits, too! They look dazzling and so pulled together in their white, khaki, and chambray ensembles—plus, the theme they chose works perfectly alongside big brother’s newborn photos from three years ago. When the boys grow up, they’ll be able to compare their pictures and see exactly how much they look alike!
BIG BROTHER KISSES & GROWING UP WISHES
The entire family was so excited for the arrival of a brand-new baby boy—and boy-oh-boy, will mom and dad have their hands full with tons of laughter, playing, and mischief, but they’re so thrilled to be parents to these two little guys!
As handsome big brother Christian plants the sweetest smooch on his baby brother, you can see his excitement to have a new playmate and future bestie. Watch out, Mom and Dad, escapades and antics ahead!
NEWBORN PHOTOS WITH BIG BROTHER
With a protective arm wrapped around his new little brother, it’s plain to see these boys are going to be inseparable as they grow up! I’m honored to have been able to photograph BOTH of these boys for their newborn sessions. It’s allowed me to see how alike the boys look when comparing their newborn photos, and it’s given me the opportunity to get to know this amazing family even more!
SWEET BABY MOMENTS WITH MOM
Baby boys may grow up to be rough and rowdy, but those first sweet moments with mom will always be a precious memory. Lying tranquilly on the softest fur rug, mom snuggles her new baby right next to her heart in a loving embrace. The peaceful smile on her face and the way her hand gently cups his tiny head say it all…there’s nothing but love surrounding their new little boy.
NEWBORN PORTRAITS IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA
Swaddled snuggly in white with an adorable teddy bear knit hat, little Kelsey snoozes soundly in a basket lined with a soft and furry blanket. Born with a head full of dark hair, it’s so cute how his locks peek out from under his little cap as he sleeps.
With a neutral wide plank floor as a background, this portrait will work perfectly framed in any room—and will coordinate with any décor.
TINY TEDDY BEAR BABY SNUGGLED UP TIGHT
With an even tinier teddy bear for company, sweet Kelsey dreams the day away and stays snuggled comfortably in a plush white cloud. This close-up of his perfect little face shows the most delicate skin and fine eyebrows and lashes that mom and dad will want to remember from those earliest newborn days.
TINY FINGERS, TINY TOES…GREAT BIG DREAMS
All curled up in a ball and comfy as can be, Kelsey shows off an outfit change without even missing a beat. Wrapped loosely in a beige knit blanket with a coordinating bunny, he shows off 10 perfect fingers and 10 perfect toes.
These are the precious moments every family wants to remember. In a matter of weeks, little ones grow, and those tiny fingers and toes will grow and get busy. That’s why it’s so important to capture this sweet, dreamy newborn stage within those first early weeks. With professional portraits of every big and tiny moment, you’ll never forget the details you loved about those newborn days.
COZY BASKET FULL OF LOVE
It’s so fulfilling when clients return for repeat sessions—for several reasons. First, I love seeing how babies I’ve photographed previously have grown. Just look at little Christian and how handsome, photogenic, and charming he is! (Mark my words, that little guy will end up in Hollywood some day!) On top of that, it’s a huge compliment when clients return and trust their cherished family portraits to me.
LULLABY & GOODNIGHT…BABY BOY SLEEPING TIGHT
Baby Kelsey snoozed throughout his session, and with his calm and tranquil demeanor, we were able to get so many great photos. He slept through prop and outfit changes and happily showed off his tiny fingers, toes and soft baby skin for the best keepsake newborn portraits you could ask for!
In this picture, he’s resting soundly on a soft-as-a-cloud backdrop and holding his fingers and toes as he dreams the day away. Don’t you wish we could catch a peek at those fascinating baby dreams?!
THE SWEETEST SLUMBER
They don’t stay little for long, so be sure to get those bare-bottom poses when they’re little! Always tastefully done, I make sure your baby is modestly posed while still taking the traditional “birthday suit” photo. With just a tiny baby bottom showing, the most adorable part of this picture are Kelsey’s curled up arms and legs as he curls up tight for a quiet nap.
Take a look at those tiny baby toes peeking out from under him, too! How adorable are those little feet? As he sleeps, he tucks his hands under his cheek for a comfy, cozy snuggle that’s sure to melt the hearts of anyone who sees this photo!
CREATIVE NEWBORN PHOTOS FOR GROWING FAMILY
Newborn photos are the best way to remember every detail of those earliest days with your baby. Remember, the first few weeks are the best time to schedule your newborn photo session, because it doesn’t take long for your baby to start growing and changing.
This fun photo of little Kelsey napping on a miniature brass bed is beyond precious! With a soft roll for a pillow, he snuggles up into a tight ball and shows off all those precious baby rolls and wrinkles that will soon go away. No matter how big and tall he grows, these cherished newborn photos will always remind mom and dad of Kelsey’s soft and snuggly newborn days.
It was such a joy to work with this family once again and to meet their newest addition, baby Kelsey! I can’t believe how much Christian has grown, and I’m excited to see how he jumps into his big brother role like a champ. Returning clients remind me how important it is to capture every meaningful moment, and I’m so glad I got to work with this family again!

I love these newborn photos!! You have so many beautiful props that are simple and still keep the focus on the baby. All gorgeous, but the family photos are my favorite!! I hope they print them big for their wall!!
Thank you Michelle. You guessed right about their choice to decorate their home with newborn wall art. With 2 large professional newborn canvases of their family this mom and dad will never forget the fresh emotions and all the details of those newborn days.
Your newborn photos look so warm and inviting. They almost make me want to have another baby!! ALMOST….hahahaha. Beautiful photos.
Like you I think of that all too often too, Candace! But I have the best job to handle and pose newborns and make photos to capture these moments for special families. Thank you for your feedback!
Gorgeous newborn photos for this growing family. Definitely a proud big brother. Beautifully captured by this Gainesville, FL photographer
Thanks Jodi!We had so much fun celebrating a new son and a new brother’s arrival with this photo session. Big brother was all about loving and hugging and admiring his newborn brother in photos. He can’t wait to have a new playmate too!
It’s the biggest compliment a client can give you, to become repeat clients! Your newborn photos are so stunning, I can see why this sweet family would want you to photograph their new baby boy.
I am always thrilled to have clients return for more photos. Repeat clients speaks satisfaction and I am very glad to know clients are so happy with their newborn photos! Thanks Brandi for your comments.
Beautiful baby and family pictures. Love the coordinated blue and white outfits for the family portrait. Love the curled up in ball baby picture showing all his 10 fingers and toes. The knit blanket with bunny is just the perfect accessory for this picture. What a compliment to have families come back again and again for their milestone pictures. Your attention to detail coordinating with their previous photo session make these pictures family treasures.
Your comments are always so very helpful, Nadia. Thank you for taking the time to notice all of the details that go into family newborn photo sessions. It is a process well worth while. The portraits that mom and dad bought will hang on their walls for generations reminding them of their priceless family moments.
To have repeat customers is a huge compliment to your gorgeous newborn and family photography!! Love all the photos , especially the family ones!! Exquisite work, Andrea!!
I really appreciate my repeat clients. Since we already know one another, we have a head start on what we are trying to accomplish in photos. Plus we have things to catch up on because the little ones grow so fast! I loved seeing big brother Christian dressed up like a little man, dressed to match his dad, and beaming with personality that I could not see in his younger photos. Customers who return for photos are already friends!
Wonderful newborn and family photos. Big brother is obviously very proud.
Hey thanks Katrina for your comments! It was a beautiful photo celebration for this newborn family. And yes, big brothere was clearly proud of his newborn baby brother!
I just can’t. These photos are so delicious! That baby is so squishable! I know momma will love having these as that baby grows! Anyone in Gainesville FL that needs newborn photos should be rushing to get these done! So sweet!
Thank you Kelleen for your kind words. This little fellow was the most adorable baby and perfect at 10 days old! I loved working with him, and of course with his handsome big brother and parents. It’s truly a fun job to pose babies!
What a beautiful family. Having the same style of photography created for both boys will bring gorgeous portraits to cherish forever. Their parents will cherish them as they continue to grow, and change in looks quickly through the years. Having a photographer that you can trust to do an awesome job, is a wonderful contact for new parents.
Thank you Susan! We did a lot of planning to match the style of big brother’s newborn photos to his new little brother’s newborn pictures. It was fun to incorporate some slight differences in this session so brothers have unique newborn portraits. And the canvases that mom and dad chose now hang proudly in their home. It will be amazing for these boys to grow up seeing their baby portraits as large canvases on the walls!
It says a lot when clients keep coming back. Kelsey is a lucky little boy to be so loved and so celebrated in your images.
What a gorgeous little family! These Newborn Photos, especially with the entire family, are such a treasure!
What a beautiful family! I love that you include special images with mom and dad too. Those are just priceless!
Having a repeat client for newborn photos is such a complement. Having them come back to you means that you did something right the first time. And that proud big brother smile! Love it
These Gainesville newborn photographs are beyond stunning. This family is gorgeous and I love that they have these images of their growing family. They knew just who to come back to for their newest addition, smart family!
