This newborn session took place in the clients' home on a bright summer day.  We did the whole photoshoot across from the largest windows in the house (which did not have any direct light entering the room).  I staged the area, pulling everything away from the window. I also moved the couch across from the window to do the family shots there.  Often toddlers can be scared of a brand new sibling (especially if baby is fussy), but this little girl was amazingly calm and compliant with most of my requests (which can be pretty rare)!  I brought a few props along with me (which you will notice in the photos; rug & basket).  I give general clothing advice on the phone, but usually have clients select their own clothing (v.s. having my own "closet" for them to choose from).  My reasoning behind this, is so that my clients are representing themselves and their own authentic style and years down the road don't look at the photos and feel the clothing didn't represent them.  This baby was pretty calm throughout the session, and that is also very rare-- I'm used taking breaks for feedings and crying, since that often comes with these tiny clients :). And without further ado; here are the little sweeties!
