So many things change when your new baby is born! Your hands may be full of midnight feedings, diaper changes, and learning to swaddle just the right way…but your hearts are even more full of love! Before you get caught up in the whirlwind of all things baby, it’s a great idea to plan a professional photo session for your new arrival!
That’s exactly what Alina and John did. Alina was set on investing in professional newborn portraits that will help her remember these first tender moments every time she looks at them. Isabella’s parents knew the importance of capturing photos of those precious early days, so Alina started to do her research and look for a professional photographer who could deliver heartwarming and meaningful newborn photos.
During her online research, Alina ran across the Andrea Sollenberger Studio, and she fell in love with the one-of-a-kind photos she saw on my website, blog, and social media. She loved the props and the way my photos are artfully composed to feature baby as the focal point. She let me know she was looking for beautiful photos accented with soft tones of gray, light pink, and white.
In the photo below, it’s clear exactly how in love mom is with her brand-new baby daughter.
With closed eyes, she poses cheek to cheek with precious Isabella and takes in all the softness and sweet smells of her baby girl.
HAPPINESS IS HOLDING YOUR NEWBORN BABY GIRL
After long months of waiting for their cherished daughter, Alina and John are captivated by her and content to hold her snugly in their arms. These are the sweet moments—those when you slow down to truly love and appreciate your blessings—that last for a lifetime.
Newborn portraits give parents the opportunity to relive those early days and remember the sweet smell and soft-as-a-feather skin their new baby had when she was at her tiniest.
ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD
As mom and dad gaze lovingly at each other in the photo below, it’s easy to imagine the world of love and adoration this tiny baby girl has been born into! Alina and John cradle a lovely and sleepy newborn Isabella in their arms as they surround her with their protective arms. The tenderness shared by mom and dad is being passed right along to their new bundle of joy.
Dad stylishly coordinates with mom’s flowy mauve blouse and the refreshing color palette they chose for their session. I love it when parents participate, too! It was so sweet and meaningful to snap photos of the very beginning of the new adventure they’re beginning together as a family of three!
SAFE & SECURE IN DADDY’S ARMS
There’s no safer place for a little girl than in her daddy’s arms. A sweetly sleeping Isabella rests contentedly in the crook of daddy’s arm and shows off the tiniest toes and most delicate little features.
Dad wore a crisp, white tee, and in the photo below, he’s perfectly coordinated with baby Isabella, who is wearing a delicate and frilly white onesie complemented by a pretty floral headband.
NEW-BABY BLISS
Looking elegant and lovely in a light pink dress that’s cinched at the waist, mom lays on a soft fur rug and snuggles close to her new baby girl. The tiniest bundle, little Isabella contentedly snoozes while mom basks in her newborn angel of a daughter.
Mom’s long, dark hair stands out in stark contrast to the white throw they’re lying on and brings the eye directly to the focal point of the photo. And if you look closely, you can even see Isabella’s fine and fuzzy dark hair, too. Alina and John both know that moments like this fly by in a flash, so they’re taking the time now to preserve their poignant memories of those first few weeks with tiny Isabella.

DREAMING THE SWEETEST DREAMS
Isabella looks content and cozy lying in this miniature brass baby bed, and it’s tempting to guess at all the dreams she’s dreaming behind those gorgeous eyes. Wearing a textured off-white blanket wrap adorned with tiny pearls and a coordinating lace cap, she’s tucked in and happy as can be. With a watercolor-style floral throw as a backdrop, this sleeping beauty really stands out at the apple of her mom and dad’s eyes!
It was very important to mom and dad that their photos be elegant and luxurious and show off their baby girl as the center of attention. This was notable to me, because my business model revolves around really, truly paying attention to what clients are looking for and structuring a professional photo session that will deliver everything they’re looking for in family keepsake images.
BUM’S THE WORD
No newborn photo session is complete without a few bare-bottom photos…and honestly, there’s no bottom cuter than a newborn bottom! For this photo, Isabella sleeps on her tummy with her knees and arms curled in and adorably showing off her tiny feet, soft and squishy baby rolls, and a smooshed cheek that’s undoubtedly going to get plenty of kisses from family and friends! A girl has to accessorize, however, so this precious baby girl is wearing a thin, stretchy headband with three tiny pearls that coordinate with the creamy white background.
THE EASIEST WARDROBE CHANGE
When working with the tiniest clients, it’s important to make the most out of the little details. For newborns, a quick change of a headband some small adjustments to posing make all the difference—and by doing this, mom and dad get even more sweet poses of their baby girl!
Isabella never made a peep and kept right on sleeping as I switched out her headband, this time opting for vibrant pink, lavender, and blue blooms. This way, the family gets a completely different look with one quick change.
PERFECTLY LOVED
Oh, my heart! This photo is shows mom and dad’s deep love for their little one, and it’s so precious how they cup their hands in the shape of a heart to surround her teeny feet. Not only is this photo a display of the adoration they have for Isabella, but it’s also a great pose for capturing a forever image of those perfect little toes!
It was so great to work with Alina, John, and adorable Isabella! They were eager to participate in the planning of their session, and they also opted to be in a few of the poses all together as a family. Invested in creating lasting, loving memories of Isabella’s very first weeks, they were hands-on and so easy to work with. It’s an honor to be chosen to work with amazing clients like them!
