Special items in newborn sessions

Before all my newborn sessions, I send out a questionnaire to get ideas on how to style your newborn sessions. I ask about nursery colors or themes, parents favorite colors or animals, and at the end I ask if they have any special items they would like included in their session. Now I have all the props you could ever think of (seriously, its a prop addiction) but when my clients want a special item included in their session, I make sure to find a way to include it and make it special! Some parents want to include their job in some way, here are a few examples of those:

Sometimes parents want to include a family heirloom, like a crocheted baby dress, Belt buckle prizes, or a special stuffed animal that was snuggled by both mama and now baby, or even mom’s wedding dress, which I was able to drape in the background so baby was laying in a nest of beautiful lace:

And then other times families just want to include things that belong to their little one, like a personalized bracelet, or the sweetest little toy planes and name blocks!

No matter what it is, or why you want to include your special item, just know that I am honored to capture these memories for you and I will do my very best to incorporate your items in the most beautiful way!
