Goodnight Stars,

Goodnight air,

Goodnight noises everywhere.

There are a few things that might set me apart from local newborn photographers- I LOVE shooting outside.

YES! Outdoors – outdoors 😉

I will only do it when the temperatures are just right and the area is safe for baby. It’s really my favorite – like ever !

I was SO SO lucky to have a beautiful day to scoop this beautiful baby boy up and grab some photos of him right outside of the studio.

There was this perfect patch of grass and the lighting was just right. Mom and dad were in utter shock that we moved outside and loved every

second of it. Than, when I showed them the sneak peek- I think they fell in love all over.

This particular session is special to me in a couple different ways .

1: It’s my best friends baby ( best friends since like 6th grade)

2: It was my first Newborn “Seminar” that myself & another photographer taught  (which we are planning more in the future)

{the ladies that came to the pittsburgh newborn seminar class had a great time. They got learn, shoot and ask questions}

I try to keep my newborn sessions different than most. I love shooting outdoors when possible.

I also like to not be really super awkward baby posey – so what does that even mean ?

I think it’s so beautiful to look at a baby in close to natural looking as possible without being lifestyle.

I give lots of credit to the newborn photographers that do those very intricate posing – it’s just not my style 🙂

So if you are looking for Outside, light posing I am your girl !

Let me know if you love what you see!

Love gives us a Fairy Tale

I love outside newborn photography. When the weather is just right I love taking my newborns outside. We were so lucky that on this stormy day the skies opened up just in time for this golden hour newborn session. Big sister did such a great job! I styled both girls in these adorable matching ruffled Le Petit Tom dresses. One in blush pink and newborn baby sister in gray.

I was so excited to use this hand made unicorn from The wooly possum. She makes beautiful items <3

last but not least I have been purchasing a lot of my flower crowns from Love spun creations – I loved this one for this session I felt like the colors just blended so beautifully !

I have provided the links above to these shops I hope you find that useful for any times that you may be looking for!

I hope that you go out and explore and find what you love to do because when you love what you do you never work a day in your life !

2nd version ? Yes, you got that right!

I am at it again creating another look for materials I already have & have had from my last post read here .

I won’t repeat the whole process since it can be found in my other blog post. However, what I will do is tell you what I did differently this time.

My mum gave me an old blanket she had & I used that as the drop fabric on the teepee in place of the chiffon ( as I did on the last post)

I still had these flower & changed up the look slightly from last time using some other ones as well as more.

I did also add a dream catcher from this little beauty’s mama’s maternity session  (< click there to see reference)

Since this was family session ( I will blog the whole session when fully edited) I thought it would be really special to include the dream catchers <3

I hope you love this new idea on how to create your own teepee .

Enjoy !

Please come back for more tips & tricks photographers crafts to hep you at your sessions !
