A Dallas Newborn Portrait Session

“I love you right up to the moon—and back.”

Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney

The population of Dallas has grown recently with the birth of this beautiful little baby girl. I recently got to photograph her precious family in the comfort of their own home. We were able to use this beautiful nursery as the setting of some very special pictures, and we also got to include their first “baby”, their family dog. They were able to relax more for their session and felt free to be themselves, which made for some beautiful, authentic images.

Along with the nursery, I captured this little girl and her family in the master bedroom. If you’ve had a newborn before, you know this is where a lot of your first memories will happen. There might also be some special heirlooms, blankets, or other items in this setting that help create meaningful portraits.

Along with the very sweet family portraits, I made sure to capture lots of images of just their little girl. I photograph these in whatever room is available and bring all of my equipment, which makes it very easy on parents. They were able to sit back and relax with coffee, and I think they might have even thrown in a load of laundry while I was there. With these studio style pictures, I make sure to capture all of the little details and different squishy faces I can.
