When Victoria contacted me for Avelina’s newborn session she was a little concerned that Avelina might be “too old” for newborn photos since she would be 6 weeks at the time. Although newborn photos are usually done up to 14 days after birth, I assured Victoria it was no problem at all. Lifestyle photography allows for the baby to just be themselves in their home environment. No major posing is necessary so the age of the baby isn’t a concern for me. I was welcomed into their loving home filled with natural light! I started in the beautiful nursery where Victora dressed Avelina in her pretty white outfit from Babies R Us. Lifestyle sessions are all about getting those real in between moments. As mom was doing her thing I noticed adorable Bella (the family dog) sitting pretty on the pink carpet in the nursery. It became very apparent that Bella is Avelina’s protector! She wouldn’t leave her side! When I took a few photos of the nursery I noticed the awesome custom pillow (from Zazzle) with all of Avelina’s birth details!  From there we took family photos in the living room with Avelina’s big brother and sister. I wanted to get some detail shots of her little hands and face, but Avelina was getting a little cranky. Luckily when she was laying on big brother’s chest she fell right asleep. So I used him as a prop and let her sleep on his chest while I took some detail photos. She was just as content in her daddy’s arms! We ended with some studio style photos of Avelina on the family’s couch. She made the cutest little expressions! And those eyes! She definitely gets them from mom! With her loving family by her side, I can’t wait to see her grow!
