Best of 2019 Newborn Sessions with Saratoga Springs Baby Photographer

Every year I love going through all of my sessions and compiling a collection of favorites for a huge blog post, and this year I am so excited to share the “Best of 2019” newborn sessions!

I was truly honored to welcome so many babies to the studio and celebrate their arrival with their families. It really is the best job in the world to be invited into their lives to cuddle their newborns and photograph their first days with their new baby. I will never get tired of those new baby yawns, their cute little back rolls, and those tiny toes. Newborns are pure magic, and it’s such a joy to document this stage on camera!

Enjoy a peek at a few of our favorite portraits from the year!

We had the most amazing big brothers & sisters in the studio this year, and it was beautiful to see how sweet and cuddly they were with their new babies.

And baby makes three! So many beautiful moments for these brand new parents!

It’s always extra special when three generations join us at a newborn session, and I love capturing that special bond with all of the baby’s loved ones.

This year we really simplified the studio’s colors to keep the focus on the baby with clean, timeless portraits. I find white to be an absolutely beautiful color for brand new babies, and we started many of our sessions off with the baby in a clean white onesie just laying on a blanket, unposed and settling in to however was comfortable for them. Those were some of my favorite candid moments of the year!

And of course, swaddled up tight with whites & creams will never go out of style! Just look at these perfect little babies!

Let’s not forget our lifestyle sessions, which steal my heart every single time! I always love getting to photograph a family at home with their brand new baby. These sessions are a relaxed peek into their lives at home and we photograph the new family in the nursery, master bedroom, and any other spot with beautiful light! One of my absolute favorite spots this year was a wooden porch swing in the summertime.

As always, I am so incredibly grateful for all of the families that entrusted me with their most precious treasures this year. Thank you for inviting me into your lives to document this special time, and for letting me snuggle your little one in the process, too! :o)

A Nautical Newborn Session at Home: Saratoga Springs & Boston Newborn Photographer

Oh, hey there, little baby.  Aren't you just the cutest thing ever?

Meet Marcelino Patrick.

This little boy was as sweet as can be for the majority of his in-home lifestyle newborn session, and we captured so many adorable photos together!  I just love these two images above with one of the newest hats that I recently added to my collection.  Marcelino has the most perfect profile with his little button nose, and I loved showcasing that in his photos.

Marcelino's mom & dad are head over heels in love with their little boy.  I loved being able to watch them soak up his newborn smell, fawn over his tiny smiles, and cuddle up with him in the nursery that they created just for their little nautical baby boy.

One of the many things that I love to capture when clients invite me into their homes for a lifestyle newborn session is the nursery.  So much time and love goes into preparing this space for your baby's arrival, and it deserves to be documented!  

You have spent nine (plus!) months preparing for your little one's arrival, and countless hours sitting in the nursery and dreaming of what he'll be like once he is here.  This is the room where you will rock him to sleep, read him endless bedtime stories, and watch him grow into a tiny little human right before your very eyes.  This room will be the setting for so many stories in your family's tapestry -- it's worth capturing that on camera.  Plus, let's be honest here... never again will the baby's room be as clean as it is today!

Congratulations on your sweet little boy's arrival!

Thank you for inviting me to capture these beautiful moments for your family.
