Newborn Photographer in Toronto Capturing Memories to Last a Lifetime

Baby Rose came to visit me at the studio last week for newborn pictures. She has a wonderful family and I enjoyed the day capturing special memories for this wonderful mom and dad and their beautiful new baby girl.

Congrats on your new arrival and thank you for choosing me to be your newborn photographer.

The colours for baby Rose’s portrait session were chosen by her mother. I love the neutral colours that her mom selected. The first blanket we used was new to the studio and had a soft peachy pink tone with a nice texture that photographed well. The second blanket mom also picked out and had a nice girly feel with white lace and a light pink complimenting blanket. Accents were added with hats and bonnets also chosen by Rose’s mother. We always have a nice selection of accessories to use for your baby’s portrait shoot. Props were used for Rose’s portrait session including a unique wooden prop and a trencher bowl. Stylizing items were added to the props to add texture including a felted blanket, soft pink merino wool blanket and pink fabric. We also used a cute newborn skirt with matching headband for one of Rose’s newborn set-ups.

I was fortunate to meet Rose’s mom and dad for an earlier portrait session when they came to the studio for maternity portraits. They were wonderful to work with and caring individuals whose love and adoration for each other shone through in their images. The same feeling came through in their family newborn pictures. Mom was gorgeous to photograph holding her new baby girl and I hope they both will love and cherish the images captured of mom, dad and their new baby together.

Baby Rose was simply easy to pose and photograph. She was extra sleepy and loved being posed and slept throughout her entire session.

For each and every newborn session, I try to capture as much variety for every client. I’m not a photographer who is strict on time, but rather a photographer who pays attention to baby’s needs and capturing a variety of poses to cherish this special time in a new parent’s life.

We were able to capture two images of baby Rose on her father’s arms. They are both popular poses. The first was an image of Rose with her arms folded under her chin resting on top her dad’s hands. This picture shows just how little baby Rose was. The second was an image of Rose hanging on her dad’s arm. We always use a second hand on baby to ensure baby’s safety and support. This pose is always a favorite among clients and has won an international award, been published in the book entitled Portraits and People in 2011 and was selected by the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards in 2014 for a best photos competition. It is a striking pose that makes a beautiful canvas in black and white. Throughout my studio, you will always see this pose on a canvas hanging on the wall.

We ended our session with detail images of baby Rose’s feet, mom and dad’s wedding rings on Rose’s little toes, dad’s hands around Rose’s feet and finally, Rose’s hand holding onto dad’s wedding ring finger.

These image take time to capture and I’m always glad when a client choses me to be their baby’s first photographer. I hope these images will make a wonderful memory and keepsake for Rose and her family for many years.
