This handsome little guy came to see us for his newborn photography session, and we are so glad he did! It really was meant to be though! We happened to have a last minute session available AND his awesome parents live just blocks from our home studio! Literally minutes away from us. Another Burbank family! I’ll admit when mom emailed me ahead of time to let me know that her sweet boy “tends to get fussy quickly when not held. So I’m not sure if that will affect your session, but thought I should warn you.”, I was a teeny bit worried. (Baby Studio Photography Los Angeles)

In the end, though, there was nothing to worry about! This baby was a total rockstar during his session and we were able to capture so many wonderful shots of him! After photographing hundreds of babies since 2010, our process is completely nailed down now. Being highly in tune with baby’s cues and recreating the fourth trimester is the really trick. A warm room temp, heart beat soundtrack, shushing, and cozy swaddles. Babies can’t resist! 

We are so happy for this awesome family of three! It was easy to see how smitten mom and dad were with their new little love! So happy we could capture this special time in their lives. Here are a few of our favorites from this wonderful newborn baby photo shoot. xo, Jess

Initially, all our newborn sessions start off with what we call “bare baby” shots. This means that we are gently posing baby into a variety of different poses on just fabric for a clean, simple look. Babies have to be super sleepy to capture these shots! And since baby usually arrives in a deep sleep from the car ride over, we go for these first. Mom mentioned in the pre-session questionnaire that she loved this pose, so we made sure to capture it!
