Newborn: Amelia

Ms. Amelia was born September 16th, 2011

and I was lucky enough to be asked to take her newborn photos!

It was such an honor,

and all I can say is, boy do I have a lot to learn about newborns!!

We did 2 sessions with little Amelia,

because the first time around, she was squirmy,

hungry and not in the mood for pictures (or so we thought!)

Turns out there are 3 very important things 

you MUST remember for taking newborn photos:

1. You need a SMALL heater that is able to 

blow heat directly on the baby. This is KEY!

2. Make sure s/he is fed right before! And believe me 

when I say, they will need to eat again during the

shoot, so make sure Mom is prepared!

3. You need an assistant: to hold the heater,

to rearrange props, to rearrange baby, to grab this, grab that..

(Jessica Zupke, I am forever grateful for your help!!)

Thank you Megan for letting me 

photograph your adorable new baby!

All in all I love the results....

So here is a sneak peak of my time with Ms. Amelia

don't you just love that hair?
