Welcome Baby Girl Audrina | 7 Days Fresh and New
Greetings, friends! Howdy to you! I'm thrilled to see you've visited to see an adorable newborn session featuring the cutest baby girl. Audrina is absolutely stunning! She visited my studio when she was just one week old, so fresh and new! Baby girl weighed a little over 8 pounds, so she's a complete squish. Babies come in all sizes!
The first floor prop we used is a super cute yellow bucket. I love babies in this wrap, called potato sack pose, because they look so round and perfect! The babies also love to be wrapped; they sleep beautifully for me and we're often able to move through several newborn scenes within the short time frame of an hour or so. You see, in the past, before I had taken workshops on newborn wrapping, it would take me sometimes 4-5 hours to do a session. However, with the knowledge of adorable wrapping, I can typically do a newborn session in about an hour or so. While we never want to rush the session, this makes the portraiture experience easier for new parents. It's important you enjoy your time at my studio and are not there all day, obligated to a long time frame.
For baby girl Audrina's flokati rug set up, I chose grey because it is timeless and can be used for either a boy or girl, depending how you style the session. For instance, for a sweet newborn girl, I will pull softer, more muted grey tones, such as heather grey. You can adorn baby with a dainty headband, seen below, to show the gender but also not detract from baby's beautiful features. Each newborn is unique and special; their sweet faces are simply stunning so we do not want to overwhelm the session with too much clutter. Less is often more. Let the beauty of baby be showcased.
For the second floor prop, which is included in the newborn collection, I used an antique & rustic metal pail. I found this little gem at my local antique shop. It's a very versatile prop and one of my favorites. I have found, over the years, there are about 5-7 favorite props of mine since they're classic, simple and relaxed. When posing in a bucket, I truly adore for the wrap to overflow the side of the bucket. This adds a feminine flair. Of course, baby looks super precious snuggled in the bucket with her hands gently and delicately placed beneath her face. Her sweet full head of hair is simply so stunning I used very few bonnets when styling. She also has bee stung lips and chubby cheeks - the perfect little cherub! Truly a gorgeous newborn baby!
Sometimes we do a variation of posing in the bucket, shown below, to show another style of wrapping. I chose to do the "tootsie" style of wrapping in the bucket so that session matches.
Thanks so much for stopping by to see Audrina's posed newborn session! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week!
Warmly,
Sarah
