Swaddled Scenes by Ann Lyle Photography | Framingham Photographer

Every newborn photography session at my studio starts with a swaddle. Swaddles are the perfect way to get your newborn to relax and peacefully start the session. The tightness of the swaddle mimics the womb and helps your baby feel safe and calm.

Some babies will do this first swaddled scene awake, but most fall asleep pretty quickly once they are wrapped up.

I have nearly every color wrap you can imagine, so no need to bring any along. Just come to the session and watch the magic!

Newborn Session for a Girl | Newborn Photography | Sudbury, MA

When you start to think about your newborn photography session, start to dream about how you will use the final images. What do you want to do with them? Yes, you want to capture your little one in their first days of life, but how will you preserve the images? What keepsakes do you want to invest in?

Most parents create wall decor for the nursery and an album to preserve the images. Because these are the most popular purchases, I love to create newborn sessions that look great in an album by using a pre-selected color palette throughout the session. Using similar and coordinating colors will allow you to make a beautiful and cohesive album or stunningl multi-image wall decor piece for your nursery.

Working with light was the magic the brought me to newborn photography. I love how light bends around any subject and when I am working with newborns, the combination of light and these perfect faces…it’s amazing. These images are from a 2020 session where the mom wanted a combination of darker and lighter images in her session.

Simple Newborn Sessions - less is more | Boston Photographer Boston, MA

There are all styles of newborn sessions and it’s best to know what your preference is before you book your photographer - make sure their style can match yours. Today, more parents are asking for less props in their session and more simple poses.

The images above are taken from white sessions. White sessions are newborn session that are mostly without color, use little to no props, and truly focus on the baby. These photos, when placed on wall decor, look great in any nursery and create an amazing album.

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting other newborn session ideas to help you design you nursery decor and session plans. Stay tuned!
