Sweet Newborn Session in Shreveport Studio | Leslie Whitaker Photography

There is nothing sweeter than welcoming a new baby into the studio for their very first portraits. This little guy was pure perfection, curled up and cozy in soft greens, blues, and neutral tones. His session included everything from simple wrapped poses to snuggly fabric drapes and tiny props that kept the focus on his precious features.
The beauty of newborn sessions is that they freeze the details parents never want to forget—the pouty lips, the curled fingers, and the squishy cheeks that change so quickly in those first weeks. My goal is always to create timeless images that not only look beautiful today but will also bring back all the emotions of these early days when looked at years from now.

For this gallery, we styled a mix of poses:
Green tones for calm and organic images
Blues for a classic, timeless feel
Neutrals to keep the attention on baby’s natural beauty

Every baby brings their own little personality into the studio, and I love creating a flow that keeps them comfortable and sleepy while we capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments.

If you’re expecting and considering newborn photography in the Shreveport-Bossier area, the best time to book is while you’re still pregnant so that your due date is reserved on my calendar. These portraits are so much more than photographs—they are your baby’s very first story.

Soft Neutrals & Sweet Expressions: Newborn Session in Studio
Welcoming this precious baby girl into the studio was such a joy. While I do happen to be her aunt, I kept things simple and timeless so her parents could focus on the sweet details that made this session uniquely hers.

We used a blend of creamy whites, soft greens, and blush tones to create a warm, soothing palette that let her little features shine. From her tiny fingers wrapped around her chest to the peaceful pout on her lips, every pose was meant to highlight just how fleeting this season of life really is.

One of my favorite parts of this session was how expressive she was, even at just a few days old. We even caught a wide-eyed look that felt like she was already curious about the world around her.

Whether she was posed in a classic side sleep or tucked gently into a woven basket, she was a little dream to photograph. And yes her lashes really are that long!
