Newborn baby session for Amilya

February 2017

Amilya’s story

This little one was indeed little. Born a month early. In fact she was born almost right after maternity session I did for her mama. This was my first preemie baby session. Oh my heart, this baby looked like a tiny little fairy that got lost and couldn’t find her way home. Her face was serious and she wanted to be comfortably curled up in the ball, wrapped up in furry, snuggly blankets.

Thankfully, Amilya was completely healthy and ready to rock her newborn baby session. I choose to use pink lace for main backdrop to show off how delicate this little baby was. Her mom got a tiny crown and I must say I loved it! I went easy on posing and let her be as comfortable as possible for the session. Amilya did amazing for parents shots as well. She looked absolutely adorable in her parents arms, so tiny with little everything.

My experience

This preemie baby session was definitely a learning curve and I am so glad I got to experience it. Its hard enough to pose a baby, try posing one that doesn’t even feel real. Just under 4 pounds and already stubborn, this little one kept her fists tight. When it comes to newborn posed photography there is a level of perfection and a standard, that usually hidden in little details. Simple things like flat hands and tucked legs make a world of difference in how final image is going to look. That said, I believe in baby’s comfort above all. There is a golden middle on how comfortable baby is going to be to how good its going to look on the final image. I aim for that middle.

Grow strong Amilya.

 

Though I be, but little, I be FIERCE.
