A few weeks ago, I had the most amazing opportunity to have Ezra’s newborn pictures done with an up an coming photographer in our area. I have always been a bit crazy about having the kids pictures done but normally we do them at a local chain studio. What a difference it makes to have them done with a professional who specializes in newborns.
When I arrived at the Madison Kelly Photography studio, I was instantly impressed with the wide variety of props, backgrounds and outfits available to me. I felt like I had been transported into a Pinterest dreamland. She had several options already laid out which was good because I probably would have been overwhelmed. There were so many wonderful colors, textures, themes. It really was hard to choose.
She had warned me to dress in layers because she keeps the studio very warm and comfortable for naked babies. She also suggested that I bring him hungry and tired. Once I picked out the first wrap, I fed him so he would fall asleep. She provided me with water, a Boppy and a changing area for the baby then when the baby was sound asleep we moved him into the first prop.
We started with this super cute wrap and little bear hat:
Then we moved onto an American theme (shown above) and this cute little ABC background:
After about an hour and half, Ezra was starting to wake up so we took a break. I fed him again and being a newborn he went right back to sleep.
This fishing theme was definitely my favorite one:
Lastly we just played around with a bunch of hats:
Honestly, I am so in love with these pictures. Kelly did an amazing job capturing his little personalty. She was so patient and really took her time with every prop and picture. I never felt rushed or like he was just a “job.” If you are in the Central Ohio area, I highly encourage you to check out her Facebook page. If you know anyone looking for a newborn photographer, I highly recommend contacting Madison Kelly Photography.
lovely photos makes me want to do new born pictures of my new fella! thank you for sharing
the fishing one is my favorite too- with his little mouth open 🙂
I just love the American one! What a perfect picture! I didn’t end up getting really newborn pictures with my little daughter. I got some cute ones around 6 weeks. I even had a tutu for her, but my camera doesn’t do too well inside, and she was born when it was quite cold outside. But hopefully for my next baby I will do better! Yours are just precious!
Those fishing ones are so precious. My babies never cooperated for newborn photos, most of them they are awake in.
Oh my goodness! These pictures are so precious! My favorite ones are also the fishing ones!! I am 34 weeks pregnant with a baby boy, so this makes me so excited for the arrival of my little one 🙂
OMGoodness! Super cute squishy photos. I am excited to get nice pictures like this for my next baby.
Congratulations!!! 🙂 and thanks for sharing so much sweetness.
How precious! I regret not having newborn photos done of my son. I had them done for my daughter, but at a chain photo place and they were just “okay.” I definitely want professional pics for the next baby.
Those pictures turned out great . The baby is adorable. The photographer did an awesome job !
These are so precious! I love the photos. So cute cute cute!
