Newborn photo session with an ‘older’ baby in Glen Rock

When people reach out to me about photographing their newborns in Bergen county most of them think that they need to do a newborn session literally days after the baby is born.  And that’s definitely true for studio newborn sessions when you want to get snuggly naked baby pictures. My Ridgewood photo studio is set up perfectly for these types of newborn – I’ve got great lots and lots of props.  But I love love love at home newborn/baby photo sessions and I do them all over Bergen County.  These sessions are usually done a bit after the baby is born  – by that time Moms usually feel a bit better and are recovered from the delivery, new parents settle into a life with a newborn and the baby is more aware and awake.

This newborn photo session took place at the family’s Glen Rock home – we split time between their family room and baby A. beautiful nursery.   I loved capturing her and her parents in the family room – underneath their wedding pictures!  And loved doing part of the photoshoot in baby A. nursery – it was simple but yet beautifully decorated and felt so serene!

Sweet baby A. was just three months old at her session and she did great!  She has the chubbiest cheeks I’ve seen in a while and was happy as could be for most of the session!  She was very aware and looking at me and my camera so intently!  I got to capture a whole variety of emotions and expressions – from joy while playing with Daddy and Mommy, to sweet smiles and baby yawns.  We even got a few cries because I am all about capturing the real and authentic and babies do cry!:)
