Gig Harbor Newborn Photographer

Have you ever heard of a “unicorn” newborn portrait session? It’s when the baby is both sleepy and wide awake & alert for their session! It is super rare which is why I refer to it as a unicorn session. It’s much more common to have a sweetly slumbering newborn who is happy to drift off to dreamland while I pose and swaddle them for each shot. But this little girl was determined to keep her eyes open for part of her session, especially when it was time to hang out with her big brother!

This sweet girl’s parents reached out to me to book a Luxe Newborn Session in my studio. What I love most about shooting these sessions is that it encourages the parents and siblings to get in front of the camera as well! It’s such a beautiful way to envelope your sweet newborn baby with love while strengthening your bond as a family!

This tiny girl with the most adorable cheeks was the absolute star of the day during her portrait session! Her parents selected some beautifully swaddled poses on a cozy ivory throw paired with a delicate floral headband. When it was time to hang out with her big brother, I wrapped her up in a light pink soft muslin swaddle. She was so ready to see what was going on! Meanwhile, her big brother could not have been more adoring. It was easy to see that he takes his new role as a big brother very seriously. He held and snuggled his sister so tenderly, it was heartwarming to witness. 

After baby and big brother finished up with their sibling photos, we moved on to some poses with Mom and Dad. For these particular shots, we went with black-and-white photography. It’s such a timeless way to capture how small baby is at this stage of life while conveying the raw emotion that Mom & Dad feel for their sweet little girl. To see more of this sweet little girl’s portraits, including a fun imagination pose, scroll through the photos in the blog below!
