Mauve & Maroon Newborn Photos | Farmington, CT

Typically we hope to see our newborn babies in the studio within the first 2 weeks after they are born. Here, they are the most flexible, sleepy, and can handle our movements without (usually) too much complaining. So it’s usually best to book you due date in your 2nd trimester to make sure we can prioritize in the calendar around it for when your baby arrives in accordance with our other appointments as well. But sometimes, life happens and the next thing you know – they’re here! This adorable family came to see me when baby girl was already 6 weeks old! Normally this would be a bit out of the traditional newborn stage, but “older” newborn sessions are certainly possible as well as long as expectations are set ahead of time. Usually this means more wrapping and potentially a lot of awake time. But sometimes we can get some really good eye contact or head control as a positive too! Her parents selected mauve and maroon newborn photos as their color scheme and she looked so beautiful with these colors! Wrapping was definitely needed as she had a hard time settling otherwise. But once she was wrapped, it was off to dreamland! With an older brother accompanying the session, it was perfect to be able to grab him to jump in for some quick poses with her that I’m normally not able to do with toddlers. He did a great job and we have a lot of sibling options for his parents to choose from! Despite needing to wrap the entire session, we had a wonderful gallery with a lot of variety for them to choose from. I just loved how their album came out and they were so happy when they were able to see it in print. With some keepsake digital files as well, they now have a great product combination to allow flexibility and heirloom quality to enjoy for years to come.
