This past October, Mahsa and Peyman welcomed their baby girl Amelia into the world with much excitement! You’ll remember seeing their late-Summer Maternity Photos last month at a nearby botanical garden.
Newborns, as you followers know, are not my most common photography focus, but I’ve been knowledgeable about the precious genre for quite some time, having assisted a friend in another market with her newborn business and aiding retouching many of her photos; baby Amelia marks my third newborn photography session of my own, and I’m feeling more confident expanding this area of family photography!
For newborns, you typically want to capture them in the first week or two, when they are still flexible from the womb and peacefully sleepy, which are both key for allowing many of the most desired poses. Due to scheduling, we missed that early window, and captured Amelia at 25 days old - it’s impressive how quickly babies grow muscles! Amelia is strong, and was managing to unwrap herself and could somewhat propel herself on our set by her feet if you gave her a hand to push against.
We started with a crocheted baby quilt made and gifted by a relative, and captured other variations, and some loving family care time next. This was also the day after Mahsa’s birthday, so the family celebrated with cake and tea after Mahsa blew out her candles.
Can’t wait to see how quickly little Amelia grows!
