Have you ever just had an idea in mind so clearly, you started planning a session setup in your mind? Thats what happened to me with this boho setup, and its all because of this super sweet ivory bamboo footie pajama! I had an idea in mind of what I wanted, and after asking the internet for models, I was able to turn those dreams into reality! I got 8 babies, whose mama’s had no idea what the setup would look like, only what their little one would be wearing, and over the course of 1 week, I captured the amazingness you see here. I had so much fun playing with these little ones, some were smiley, some serious, and some wanted nothing to do with me but in the end I was able to get amazing pictures and had a blast doing it! So without further ado, here are the babies!
My first little one into the studio is the son of a friend and fellow photographer, Leslie Whitaker, who I used to share a studio with and who has the cutest little redhead baby ever! Killian was SUCH a ham and just the best little model! He happily cheesed for the camera as you can see, more than willing to give me all the poses.

She is wonderful at what she does ❤️❤️
Next I had Jaxon, and let me tell you this boy had SO MUCH PERSONALITY! He gave me all the faces and had me and mom cracking up! He knew exactly what I wanted and let me tell you, he delivered. I mean just check out how stinking cute he is!
Sutton was next, my third boy into the studio for this setup, and I’m gonna be honest, I was shocked how much he had grown! I feel like I did his newborn images just a few weeks ago. Mama was nervous about his sitting up, but he rocked that as well as rocking the session giving me ALL the smiles and sweet faces!
I finally got my first girl in the studio, and oh man, when I tell you my heart MELTED. Krislynn has the most amazing hair and such big bright brown eyes! She wasnt sure of everything at first, but man oh man when she opened up, her sweet smiles lit up the place. Also, the bow in the top 2 images were made by a local mom owned business, Messy Bow Mob! I’ll link her website at the end of the post, I used it with all the girls, and it was seriously so perfect and cute!
Hailey came into the studio, and UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. This girl cheesed, and mom and I melted. She made the sweetest little faces, and I got more pictures than any of the other babies! She had a blast, I had a blast, I was an incredibly fun session for all!
Melanie came into the studio next, and she wasn’t sure about me, but that didn’t stop us from getting amazing pictures!! This girl knew what she wanted, and what she wanted was snacks (My photoshop skills are the only reason you don’t see a veggie straw in that bottom picture!). I pulled out all the stops, making funny faces, and noises, and in the end, I got the best little faces! She was so stinking cute and I just wanted to give her all the snuggles!
Now Mila with my last girl and she was not having this smiling business. This sweet girl was giving me all the serious vibes, but that just made it EXTRA special when I finally did get a little grin! She made me work for it, but those smiles make me feel like a million bucks.
My last baby was Cohen and he was SO FREAKING CUTE. Seriously I just wanted to take him home! His mama has known me my whole life, our families so interconnected, and I have photographed his cousin! I was so excited to capture these sweet baby portraits! He finished off the sessions with a bang giving me all the sweet smiles.
At the end of the week, once I got a chance to see what I had captured, I was so incredibly happy, It was everything I dreamed of and more! It was so much fun getting to design a setup and capture all these babies, I cant wait to do it again!
Also, I mentioned Messy Bow Mob in one of the captions, and if you look, all of the girls wore that same bow in their portraits! It went so perfectly with this theme, I can’t wait to get more bows for future sessions! You can find more information about her business here:
