Melrose Lifestyle Newborn Photography

A Dash of Sunshine for any Cloudy Day ever!

Ohhh you know I am always angling to bring your babies outside!! A little fresh air a little gorgeous sunlight. And maybe a cute little tree full of the sweetest little blooms to pop a baby under! I absolutely adore newborn photoshoots at any age and stage, but there is something about that 8-10 week mark that is a sweet spot. A little more alert, baby’s first smiles, and lots and lots of mama dada eye contact. Mix in a few dogs and bam, you have maybe the sweetest summer newborn session Melrose has ever even seen!

When prepping for any newborn session I always remind new parents that I expect your baby to act like a baby. We will hit all the emotions, blissfully asleep, cranky and hungry, and maybe even a few smiles and giggles in the mix. I always try to start my sessions with the posed portions as most babies are fed and somewhat content when I arrive to their homes. That way if we start getting a little melty, we have checked the big boxes and baby can be happily held for the rest of the session. We pop pacis in, we pop them out, rinse and repeat until we have what we need. I always keep a good “waaah” pic in the mix though- just for a little reminder that it wasn’t all sunshine and lollypops haha.

Enjoy these gorgeous portraits, and congratulations to this wonderful family. Being invited into your home was such a treat.
