Newborn Photo Shoot: Baby A

My neighbors just had their first baby!

Aren’t they the cutest?

I think I might be almost as excited as they are to have a new mom right across the street who has young kids too.

I offered to do some newborn photos as a baby gift to them.

I then proceeded to gather approximately 8 million props and accessories and spend a ridiculous amount of time looking at newborn photos online. Luckily, my friend Satoko (the one who just took our family photos) & her boys stopped over for a playdate before I was too far gone.

She reminded me to keep it simple. Newborns and their families are adorable enough all on their own, regardless of the silly poses and fancy backdrops we see on Pinterest. I tried to take her advice and tone it down a bit.

Here are some of my favorite shots from my session with Baby A, Mom, Dad, and Grandma.

Note to self: Next time don’t put one of the letters upside down.
