Heirloom Newborn Photography | Portland, CT

Baby Emmett visited my Newington, CT studio for his heirloom newborn photography session a few weeks ago and I was so excited to meet him! Emmett is baby #3 for this beautiful family, and I had photographed his brother Elliott just about 2 years ago for his newborn and cake smash photos. Elliott was born very premature with sister Tate, so it was fun to see their similarities and differences as Emmett was born much closer to full term. I decided to keep a blue color scheme but use warmer wood and brown tones for the alternate color instead of the gray that I had used with Elliott. This way their images in their home would still coordinate but also have some things that were different too! As we know, each baby has their own personality! Emmett posed so beautiful for the first few sets, but some tummy troubles made him a little uncomfortable for part of the session. This is normal and common! I always tell parents that we will go with how they feel and take as many photographs as we can during the time allotted. It was great that they had booked my longer Heirloom session for this reason, as it gave us time to change and feed in between and make him a little more comfortable. After eating, he wasn’t as up for posing unwrapped anymore, so we wrapped him up tight and he was back off to dreamland! We posed in a few props before big brother Elliott and Dad arrived to join us for sibling and family photos. Age 2 can be tricky for siblings (now they have to share attention!), but with some photographer magic we were able to get a great sibling and family photo for Mom & Dad to enjoy. Their choice of frame and prints and 1 digital file (to make some prints on their own also) will help give them a well rounded collection to enjoy and display!
