San Antonio Baby Photographer | Baby’s First Year Portrait Plan | Nolan

As San Antonio’s premier baby photographer, I love watching children grow from sleepy newborns to chubby, smiley babies, then to spunky toddlers celebrating their first birthday!  I offer a Belly to Birthday Portrait Package that captures that first precious year and documents the growth that happens in the blink of an eye.

My package (details here), includes four portrait sessions: maternity, newborn, 6 month/sitting, and a one year session with cake smash.  If you prefer, you can replace your maternity session with a 9 month mini session.  These sessions ensure that you capture every adorable stage and don’t miss any of those fleeting moments.  Each session in my package includes 2 digital images so that you may show off your adorable baby and make prints wherever you wish.  Also included in the package is a custom Facebook timeline cover (examples here) of your favorite newborn images, and a custom smart phone app to show off your gallery.  After your child’s birthday session, I compile a custom designed 10×10 lay flat fine art album… it is BEAUTIFUL.  The memories preserved on these thick, museum quality pages with be cherished forever.

 I adore watching the “baby plan” babies grow.  And I often document this growth with what I call “recreation images.”  I like to choose a favorite photo from the newborn session and use the same prop, pose, and/or backdrop at each milestone session to show exactly how much the baby has grown.   You can see an example below from Nolan’s first year in my airplane prop.  Babies grow fast, I highly recommend signing up for the Belly to Birthday package so you don’t miss those milestones!

Nolan just graduated from my baby plan.  It was an honor to serve his family and watch him grow.  He is seriously adorable and I honestly think he should be a baby model!  This kid is CUTE.  First you see him with his birthday sign… this is a chalkboard that I customize for your child to share their stats, favorite foods, words, etc.

Below are some images of Nolan at his newborn, 3 month, and 6 month sessions.

Here is Nolan’s growth series!

And finally, here is Nolan at one year!

Nolan was not a fan of the cake smash.  You just never know which kids will love it or hate it!  But, it is still adorable…

He did, however, love the bubble bath in my cute shower tub that washed all that cake away!

San Antonio Newborn Photographer | Vivian Kate

World, meet darling Vivian Kate!  This beautiful baby girl came to see me for newborn portraits at eleven days old. Vivian belongs to my awesome pastor at Hope Arise Methodist Church in San Antonio.  She has a stunning and kind-hearted mama and the two sweetest big brothers you ever did see!  Reese and Rowan simply dote on her and wanted to hold her and help me with her throughout the whole session.  I confess, their sibling portraits were my favorite part of the day!

Vivian was the first baby girl in the family so we had to style the session a touch feminine.  And against my better judgement, I even took an Aggie shot in maroon for her Daddy.  🙂  Mama loved the photo of Viv with her head in her hands and a vintage cloche hat.  And even though she slept like a dream, Vivian was also happy to flash me a few sweet baby smiles.

I. love. my. job.

And I adore this family!

Vivian’s mama utilized my baby registry for expecting moms.  Family and friends were able to contribute to her newborn session and toward beautiful products like fine art canvas, professional prints, lay flat albums and brag books. Ask me about how easy it is to set up your own registry with Chelsea Lietz Photography!

San Antonio Maternity Photographer | Natalia

The absolutely stunning Natalia came to my ranch in Bulverde for an outdoor, sunset maternity session.  We had beautiful lighting, but the real glow came from Mama and her beautiful baby bump.  She made my job easy and this sweet couple was such a pleasure to work with.  I am very much looking forward to meeting baby Luca in a few weeks.

Don’t we all wish we looked this good pregnant?!  Lovely!

San Antonio Newborn Photographer | Kolbie

Introducing Miss Kolbie!   This gorgeous baby girl came to the studio for her newborn portraits at 14 days old.  She was sweet and sleepy and hardly made a peep.  I truly giggled out loud when she flashed me the smile and then a wink!  Kolbie was equally lovely in bold colors and classic neutrals, and she had the most amazing eyelashes and kissable lips.  Her Mama brought a personalized hat and a name banner to use in some shots, all other props and backdrops belong to Chelsea Lietz Photography.  It was an honor and joy to photograph this sweet baby girl.

San Antonio Baby Photographer | Adelyn

Sweet Adelyn is part of my “baby plan,” which includes a few sessions from maternity to one year old to document their (too) rapid growth in that sweet, snuggly time. The package also includes a gorgeous album at the end of the year.  Please visit my Investment page for more details.

Just like at her newborn session, Adelyn was pretty as a peach for her 6 month photos.  I adore her hair, her big, bright blue eyes and the dimples on her heiny!  Seriously, check out the bare baby bottom with a bear bonnet!  I die.

We had so much fun playing at her portrait session, even mom and dad got in on the fun.  We did a variety of outdoor and studio shots. I really love recreating images from a child’s newborn session to show how much they’ve grown.  We did that for Adelyn on the blue blanket and will do it again when  she comes back to celebrate her first birthday with a cake smash.  🙂  Enjoy this gorgeous, angelic face…
