Bringing you another lifestyle newborn session from the holidays! What a difference a year and a new baby makes, lol.

I photographed this family last year and our big sister would not have her photo taken. I of course was able to sneak in a few by turning it into a game, but boy did I have to be sly.

Not sure who stole the show here! The puppy, Rocket, or baby Scarlett? Both..right! I mean look how adorable they are! Rocket went everywhere that Baby Scarlett went, watching over her and making sure she was ok. Gosh I love the puppies! They are so loving, caring and protective even of the newest members of the family!

Welcome, baby Noa! Get ready for the most precious, princess of girly, newborn session! I love Mom’s style of natural and natural mixed with the pop of pinks and glam headbands! So freaking adorable.

I get this question a lot, and I thought it would be the perfect time to explain to you what a mini session is!

A typical portrait experience lasts an hour or more, a mini session only lasts 20 minutes. It is a simple quick session where you know it will just focus on getting a few great, key shots for your holiday card or to update the walls of your home or document a memory of this moment in time. This is great if you have kiddos (or husbands) that don’t love being in a lot of pictures!

Mini sessions allow current clients the potential to have multiple sessions throughout the year. It allows them to document the moments that change in an instant, and are a great way for a new client to have a small taste of the Krista Mason Photography experience.

Sometimes older siblings just don’t want to cooperate and that’s okay! We will still capture wonderful images of your family, and the star of the show, the newborn!

Newborn sessions with siblings are seriously so much fun to shoot. We are documenting some of their first interactions together and the older siblings personality as they experience being the older child for the first time!

As much as I encourage to book before baby is due with our ‘floating date based on delivery’ to ensure that we capture your newborn, sometimes things happen and that isn’t always possible. And that’s ok!!! Reach out and we can talk about booking your newborn asap, like we did with this adorable 4 week old baby! Click here to inquire!

How crazy that at the time, the only way you could see a new little family member was via photos and the computer screen.
Newborn sessions are a great way to not just treasure these moments, but capture your baby to share with the world – especially while you still trying to figure out how to keep yourself and this new little nugget alive. It can help take the pressure off of you trying to figure out how to have everyone come by and say hi.

Love working and growing with couples as they experience life events! I photographed this couple’s engagement session and wedding and now they’ve expanded to a family of 3, with baby Teddy!

For a newborn session with poses like our samples, it’s best to capture them when they are under 2 weeks (even premature babies where possible). While this is usually a stressful time for new parents, it’s also the time when baby is sleepiest, and most cooperative.
