I always preface my newborn portrait blog posts by saying that I am not a newborn photographer. My favorite way to photograph newborns is with their parents, in a lifestyle manner. Saying that, its always a little bit more challenging for me to photograph my babies without a parent to prop them up with.
I knew I would have a short window to photograph Levi, seeing as he has an older brother and sister, both whom are very active and are always trying to help with the new baby. I sent Wyatt outside, who was only more than glad to play, and put Sadie in her room for a ‘nap’. I say nap loosely because if you know Sadie, you know that girl doesn’t do naps very well. But, she happily played in her room while I took some quick portraits of Levi.
I feel like I’m slowly getting better at taking newborn photos, but don’t worry, I will not be switching over to photographing newborns exclusively. They still scare me a bit.
If you are curious as to Levi’s birth story, you can read that here.
Anyways, here’s a quick little video I made of Levi’s newborn portraits. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
