White Sands National Park is such a beautiful location and a favorite of my clients who want their maternity photos, couple photos, family photos or even some surprise proposals. When Marylyn reached out to me she knew she wanted White Sands and wanted this stunning red gown that just stands out against the white dunes. She had seen a previous session of this gown and knew this would be the one for her. I have to admit it looked fantastic on her. We scheduled a date that he

What did the fox say? Well hard to say since this little guy is fast asleep for his newborn photo session.

I enjoy customizing my newborn sessions for my clients and for Mila it was no exception. Her parents had this cute Moon bed and brought it for her photography session. I enhanced the photo with some additional stars in the background to give it that twinkle little star type look. A second set we used was my campground backdrop along with a new tent drop that I had picked up. Mamma wanted purple to be part of the session so I used a purple blanket and flowers to accent this

I recommend to my clients to book with me several weeks to months in advance of their newborn session. This is normally to ensure I have everything that they require for their session as some things can take awhile to arrive. For this cute little girl I was contacted a few days after she was born. Her mamma said that she wanted mainly white as her theme and I could accent some of the photos as well with purple or teal. Fortunately I have a lot of white on hand and used my

I love doing newborn sessions with lots of color but some of my clients prefer doing a new clean, antique or classic look. For this newborn photo session white and lace was the main theme. I added just a little color in the accent in the headbands which really stood out on the white backgrounds. Here this little doll just looks so adorable wrapped up in a white mohair potato sack wrap. I used one of my backdrops as a floor drop for this shot again keeping the color as an ac

Newborn photography sessions are always special to me but sometimes we get to make them a little extra special. This time mama wanted to honor her hubby by having a fireman theme to the photo session. One shot we did was with baby sitting on the boots and clothing. Note that this is a composite photo so baby is actually perfectly safe on not actually on top of these boots. Baby placed in the pocket of a uniform is often popular if you have the big enough pockets. It was g

Little Sara was my first newborn session after the Thanksgiving Holiday. When I asked her mama what she wanted for colors she asked for pink. So we did a few poses on the bean bag and she handled herself so well and gave us this cute photo. I did another photo of her this time with her wearing a cute little crown and she gave me a cute little smile that just melted my heart. I had this fabric to wrap her in which reminded me of the dress her mama wore for her maternity ses

"Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope. I had done previous rainbow baby n

Photographing newborn babies is such a joy. It's even more special when we photograph the newborn sibling of a baby you had previously. With Sienna that was the case it was just last year that we had photographed her sister Sedona and mama wanted to create a similar set. We went ahead and used the same saddle that we had Sedona's newborn session with. I wanted to make some things different as well so I set up Sienna in the bucket with this cute flower bonnet. I completed

One of my favorite things to do is to photograph newborns and this session was very special since it was my first newborn in my brand new studio. When mama first reached out to me I hadn't even opened my studio yet and she had a special request. She wanted my middle package that includes family which often we have baby's other siblings along. She told me she didn't have other children but would like to bring her dog which is a husky. Personally I love dogs but I didn't re

Blaize came in from El Paso for his newborn session. His mamma liked this wooden branch like bowl I had found and wanted it to be part of his session. I think it came out wonderful. He was awake for some of his session and didn't want to be fully wrapped so we tried this shot. It gives the ilusion of him hanging but looks so cute on him. Next I tried a little raft I had recently purchased. We were going with a wood theme so I used a lot of wood props, brown and other eart

I love it when I get a chance to use this cute little airplane prop and aviator goggles. This little guy was fast asleep and was dreaming in the clouds. After a few shots in the plane we settled down on a nice grey flokati with a grey wrap. I just love his little pose here. We then got him on the bean bag with a grey fabric, wrap and bear hat. He did great holding this pose for me and looks so adorable. Afterwards we turned him to his side and gave him a little grey bug to

Newborn sessions for sweet little girls can be so much fun. I get to use my floral patterns on backdrops, blankies and more. This little gal was fast asleep so I was able to do the traditional froggy pose with her. What a precious little face. Just look at those cheeks! Floral baskets are one of my favorite things to do so when you get a little girl that's what I do. I have quite a few different baskets, outfits and flowers to customize the shoot. I got a chance to try ou

This little guy's family wanted our deluxe newborn session as well so I created several sets for him plus did a family session on another day. The family had a cowboy theme with their previous newborn photos and wanted to complete the set. I used my dark wood backdrop, a couple of blankets and the family provided the cowboy hat. Mama also liked the woodland theme I've done before with the fox costume so we did a few photos in the outfit. I just love doing basket shots so I d

I enjoy getting a chance to use my boat and fishing backdrop since when Ana picked this setup I was excited. This was a deluxe newborn session with family split into two sessions. This set of photos is just from the baby only session. I used a wool bump blanket under this little guy along with my fishing pole and put this cute little sailor outfit on him. I also put this dungeree outfit on him and layed him on a wool type rug. He gave me no fusses changing him. I just love

This little cutie came to visit me and was just so adorable. She had already some fantastic hair, a sweet little disposition and a family who adored her. I did some shots of her in a basket using this mohair wrap and got her all snug. I did another one of her in a bucket using this cute little pink hat and pink bear. Covered her up with some lace gently laying on her. Moved her to the bean bag with a white Flokati and put her in the cream mohair romper with a little crown.

I just love doing newborn photos so I get excited when I get new familes to share their babies with me. I used my wagon prop for this photo and it seemed to fit just right. This little girl was sleeping away making my job just so easy. After a several shots on her themed session I moved this little angel to the bean bag for several different shots. This one was just simple and beautiful. We later did a family session and I just love how this little gal was loving on her lit
