Treasuring Newborn Milestones: Mini Photo Sessions with Sweet Adam & Tobi

I don’t have to tell you how busy and chaotic things can get for parents! Days and weeks fly by, sometimes before we even realize it, and then poof!… our little ones are toddling, climbing, and getting into mischief…and we still haven’t even thought about photos.

And don’t even get started on finances. When you’ve got a brand-new little one, you get brand-new expenses, too! Things like formula, diapers, adorable outfits and shoes, and all the activities that go along with new parenthood add up to big-time dollars. Often, the thought of cost causes new parents to bump professional photos to the bottom of their list, but before you do that, I want to let you in on a little secret.

NEWBORN MINI SESSIONS ARE AFFORDABLE

Yep, not only are they affordable on your wallet, they keep the crunch on your calendar in check, too. When you choose a Mini Session at Andrea Sollenberger Photography, you’ll walk into the studio with the assurance you’re getting all the great support and attention to detail you’d expect from longer, more complex sessions…just in a slightly shorter timeframe.

NEWBORN MINI SESSIONS IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA

You’ll always remember those first precious days and weeks with your new little one, but professional photos are an extra-special reminder of that earliest bond your young family shared. Time flies when you’re busy falling in love with your baby, and each moment you cradle them in your arms, they are at the tiniest they’ll ever be. Photos are a lovely way to help you capture every cherished milestone.

DID YOU KNOW?

It’s recommended to schedule professional newborn photos before your baby turns 3 weeks old! That’s because the younger your baby is, they faster they change—almost by the day!

NEWBORN BABY ADAM SWADDLED IN A NEST

Could this darling baby boy capture your heart any more with his sweet, dreamy face and hint of a smile as he relaxes comfortably in the softest nest of white feathers? I love how his soft brown hair peeks from under his knit patchwork cap, and if you look closely, you can even see the littlest, most perfect baby boy ears, too. His tiny grin hints at a whole lot of fun and mischief in the future for his loving family, but for now, little Adam is snuggly wrapped in a coordinating muslin swaddle that keeps him oh, so cozy.

PROFESSIONAL STUDIO STOCKED WITH ACCESSORIES

This photo of baby Adam shows a bit more of the monochromatic theme that was chosen for his mini session. A variety of light neutral shades, including an on-trend wide-plank wood floor, all come together to create a modern rustic look that will look great with any home décor—a great way to minimize outfit and accessory changes and still end up with beautiful photos everyone will love!

A HANDSOME HEAD FULL OF HAIR

Sure enough, when his adorable cap came off, Adam had a full head of hair to show off—neatly and gently styled, of course.

These photos of his sweet little face show so many details like his baby-soft skin, the wisps in his fine hair, a perfect little side part, and the tiny Cupid-bow shape of his mouth. It’s the best reminder ever to capture every moment you can in photos…because moments like these go by really fast.

NEWBORN BABY TOBI…A SOFT & SNUGGLY TEDDY BEAR

If you look closely, you’ll see there are TWO adorable teddy bears in this soft knit-lined basket. One is in sweet baby Tobi’s hands—and the other IS little Tobi. He’s nestled gently into a woven basket that’s lined with the softest chunky-knit yarn that looks comfy enough to snooze in all day!

Tobi looks perfectly angelic as he rests in a light blue bundle with a coordinating light blue hat with ears and a precious chin tie. With his tiny fingers holding tight to his soft and snuggly best friend, sweet Tobi looks content to dream the day away.

NEWBORN MINI SESSIONS WITH YOUR STYLE IN MIND

When you choose a newborn session with me, you won’t be compromising on quality or style! Let me tell you why. A mini session is simply a shorter version of my longer, high-quality sessions that are designed to pamper you and your babies. You’ll get all the attention to detail and access to newborn prop collections—just with fewer outfit changes and a shorter session time.

NEWBORN PHOTO SESSIONS ARE FOR EVERYONE

Mini sessions are perfect if you want to capture every beautiful moment…even if you’re watching your budget. And they’re great if your schedule’s packed, too!

HEARTS AFLUTTER FOR BABY TOBI

Just when you thought he couldn’t look any more adorable, Tobi’s family opted for a prop change, so we nestled him onto this luxurious white fur rug surrounded by a heart form. With wide plank flooring in the background, this photo style offers a beautiful neutral tone photo that will look great in any room!

Sweet Tobi looks adorably comfortable curled into a little ball in this image. With his toes almost to his chin, it might not be too early to suspect he’ll be pretty great at yoga! A perfect picture of his tiny fingers and toes, this photo is also a darling way to show off his soft baby skin as he rests in a comfy half swaddle.

BIG SMILES & BIG DREAMS

It was such a joy to work with Adam and Tobi and their loving families as we created memories that will last for a lifetime. Their sessions show there are so many things we can do in a mini session—so much variety, so many props, so many poses—to make your session unique and personalized to your very own style and family personality.

I know how important it is to capture the earliest memories with your baby, and I feel honored to be able to help families create keepsakes that will last a lifetime!
