A Sweet Newborn Session with Baby Girl in Studio
Welcoming a newborn into the world is one of life’s greatest blessings, and this sweet baby girl’s session was full of tender details and quiet beauty. Styled in soft sage, blush, and creamy neutrals, her portraits showcase the timeless beauty of newborn photography.
From those delicate, sleepy poses with tiny hands resting under her cheeks, to the peaceful swaddled moments where she looked like a perfect little bundle, every image captured her early days with such sweetness. One of my favorite touches from this session was her tiny, knitted teddy, which she cuddled close during her portraits, such a precious keepsake moment.
We also included heartfelt family portraits, featuring her proud mom and grandmother. The love between them was so genuine and moving to witness. Watching the way her mom gazed at her and the soft smile of her grandmother holding her reminded me how important these images will be, not just now, but for generations to come.
Sessions like this are why newborn photography is so meaningful. These days are fleeting, and having portraits that preserve your baby’s tiny features and your family’s first days together is priceless.
If you are expecting and would like to reserve your own newborn session, please reach out early to secure your spot on my calendar. I’d love to create timeless memories for your family, too.

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.

Soft Tones and Sweet Smiles – Studio Newborn Session in Shreveport
Some babies just seem to melt right into their little setups, and this sweetheart made it look effortless. From the moment she arrived at the studio, I knew we were in for a beautiful session. Her full head of dark hair, gentle smile, and content spirit created an absolutely dreamy collection.

We began with soft blues for a classic newborn look. I love how peaceful she looked wrapped in a ribbed knit with a floral headband, so simple, yet so striking. One of my favorite parts of every newborn session is capturing a macro close-up. Those little lips, tiny pores, and delicate peach fuzz never stay this small for long.
Next, we added a tiny knit bear for a little extra sweetness. It’s amazing how these tiny touches can give such personality to the final gallery. After a quick swaddle change, she snuggled right back in and let us change setups without even a stir.
Her pink-toned set felt soft and feminine with a hint of vintage charm. The lace romper and floral headband paired perfectly against the warm blush backdrop. She even gave us a smile mid-session, and I couldn’t have asked for better timing.

To wrap things up, we swaddled her in white and let her settle into a relaxed, seated pose, finished with a dreamy green basket look surrounded by houseplants. I love incorporating texture and natural elements when we can. This gallery is full of variety while still feeling soft and cohesive throughout.
Every newborn session is different, but when a baby settles like this one did, I feel so honored to do what I do. These are the little moments families will remember forever.
