Sweet Baby Girl | Charlotte Newborn Lifestyle Photography

This baby girl Ellington warms my heart. Newborn lifestyle sessions warm my heart. This adorable new threesome warms my heart. Clearly I have a lot of love for this session 🙂

Newborn lifestyle photography sessions like this one provide us with such an intimate, personal glimpse into family life with a new baby. Capturing the newborn in mama’s arms, cuddling with daddy in the nursery and everyone snuggling in their own home environment is just so special to me. Welcome to the world baby Elle! You are as sweet as they come. In fact, if little girls are truly made of sugar and spice and everything nice, then you could be the poster child. Your parents couldn’t have asked for a more precious little girl and you handpicked the perfect mom and dad.

I’m so honored that they asked me to document this stage in your life. Thank you all for trusting me with such a special assignment. Thank you for trusting me with your brand new baby girl.

It’s never too early to start planning your own newborn session. Space is limited each month to accommodate the unplanned nature of delivery. The best time to photograph newborns is within the first two weeks of life. They are still so new, just alert enough for great eye contact and just sleepy enough to be happy posing on anyone or anything. Elle was 12 days new at her newborn session and as you can see, she was both sleepy and wide-eyed.
