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 | Baby Boy Chapel

Chapel came to my San Antonio area studio for his newborn portraits from Fredericksburg, Texas.  His parents requested rustic, natural, country and hunting images. Dad is a taxidermist and avid hunter…so of course we had to get some shots in camo with Daddy’s antlers and an ammo box.   🙂   Chapel is the sweetest baby and flashed me several big smiles.  Congratulations H family, it was a pleasure photographing your beautiful son.

 

I get a lot of questions about my rustic stick stool, isn’t it an awesome prop?!  It comes from The Prop Barn.

San Antonio Newborn Photographer | Luca

 

Handsome baby boy Luca came to my San Antonio area photography studio for his newborn portraits before he was even two weeks old.  He was an absolute dream to work with… so cute and so sleepy!  His parents chose my Belly to Baby Package, which includes maternity photos and newborn photos.  By request I did a before and after shot of Mommy’s baby bump with Luca’s name blocks… can you believe how amazing Mama looks?!?!  So gorgeous.

Luca posed as one of San Antonio’s newest Spurs fans, but the rest of session was styled to be natural, earthy, and soft.  I think it suited him perfectly.

Congratulations R family, he is perfect.  And it is beautifully obvious just how much you love your son.

Stone Oak Newborn Photographer | Zakariya

Sweet Zakariya came to my San Antonio area photography studio for his newborn portraits at 12 days old.  He was handsome and snuggly and blessed with the most gorgeous Mama!  Zakariya’s Daddy is a Longhorn alumnus (as am I!), so we had to do some burnt orange and Bevo pride shots.  Hook ’em Horns!  Zakariya is also one of San Antonio’s newest Spurs fans.

It was an honor working with this beautiful family, even Grandma snuggled in for a shot with her handsome grandson. Thank you, Mushtaq family, for trusting me to capture your son’s precious newborn photos.

Adopted Newborn Baby Portraits * San Antonio Photographer

 

I am honored when I am chosen to photograph any baby. It is a privilege that I treasure.  But working with an adopted child brings me an extra special kind of joy.  I always get the happiest families from Abrazo Adoption Agency in San Antonio.

And Amelia’s family was no exception.  This beautiful baby girl came to the studio with her birth family and her adoptive family… surrounded by more love than one can even imagine!

It was an honor photographing her large, perfect family and her incredibly sweet face.  She has gorgeous lashes and even flashed me a sweet baby smile.  Amelia, you have the hearts of many… but add mine to the list.
