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.

Henry’s Newborn Portraits * New Braunfels Newborn Photographer

Sweet Henry Dean is the grandson of my God Parents… so I claim him as my God Nephew.  🙂

He lives in Dallas, so I didn’t get to meet him until he was a month old… a bit out of the “normal” newborn portraiture range.  It can still be done, of course, but it requires a bit of extra patience.  At a month old, babies usually don’t sleep as deeply and  won’t stay as curled as they were in the womb… making posing more difficult and the time span they will remain asleep while being posed much shorter.

But Henry and I came to an understanding and he allowed a few sweet poses. Big brother, however, didn’t want a thing to do with me, my camera, or his little brother.  🙂

I was on location for this session, which I no longer offer because of ALL the gear and props I need access to in my studio. I was also using natural light, which I haven’t done in months but quite enjoyed.

This was a welcome challenge, for sure.

Welcome to the family, Henry!

Newborn Portraits in San Antonio * Baby Boy Brady

Sweet baby Brady came to the studio for his newborn portraits at 9 days old. I really enjoyed this shoot and the set-ups we put together.  Brady was a great sleeper with adorable features… and I just couldn’t take my eyes off of his chin dimple!  chinple? chimple?  🙂    Anyway, he got it from his Daddy…
