The Sweetest Ginger Newborn Baby Boy
Every newborn session is unique, but this one truly melted my heart. When I first met baby Aulden, I couldn’t help but smile — this gorgeous ginger newborn baby boy had the most beautiful head of soft red hair and the bluest eyes you can imagine. From the very first moment, I knew his gallery was going to be something special.
Aulden’s mum had reached out months before his arrival to pre-book her newborn session — something I always recommend to expectant parents. Securing your spot early ensures that, once your baby arrives, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. I take care of everything else — from the studio setup and gentle posing flow to making sure baby stays safe, comfortable, and content throughout the session.
The session began with a few awake moments — and oh, those eyes! I always love capturing those fleeting stretches of alertness, as they beautifully complement the soft, dreamy sleeping portraits that follow. Little Aulden was full of expression, gifting us a few tiny smiles before drifting into the deepest sleep. Once asleep, he moved effortlessly through my posing flow, letting me capture a variety of angles and compositions that truly showcase his delicate features and tiny details parents treasure forever.
What if my baby doesn’t sleep during the newborn photoshoot?
One of the most common questions I get from new parents is “What if my baby doesn’t sleep?” — and that’s perfectly okay. Every baby is different, and I work entirely around their needs. I allow plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and breaks, ensuring that each baby feels calm and secure before moving on to the next pose. That’s the secret to natural, peaceful images that reflect not just how your baby looks — but how deeply they are loved.
As I finished photographing baby Aulden, I couldn’t help but think how precious it is to capture these first days of life. Babies change so quickly, and having timeless portraits to look back on becomes one of the most meaningful gifts a parent can have.
If you’re expecting and considering a newborn photoshoot, I recommend booking during your second trimester to secure your preferred dates. My goal is to make your experience relaxed, memorable, and filled with love — from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you hold your finished artwork in your hands.
