Newborn Photography + Paisley

If you are looking at getting newborn photos done for your soon to be little one or just arrived little one and a few more than 6 to 10 days has passed, don't fret!  Most newborns if you have a skilled newborn photographer can still get your baby to sleep and into most of the same positions as a week old baby.  Most of us photographer prefer babies to be between 6 and 10 days old, but there is no requirement for that at all.  I have photographed a baby who we couldn't get to sleep soundly at 4 days old and 3 weeks early, but a baby who was 2 months old wouldn't do anything, but sleep.  It is possible!  I recently have decided that I want to try to get my 7 month old to fall asleep and see what kinds of positions I can get her into.  
Because babies are right out of the womb they are extremely bendy and used to being squished up all nice and tight. So when we are moving your baby around and positioning them into what looks like an uncomfortable position for one of us, it's probably actually very comfortable for them. 
These images are of Paisley who is 22 days old in the photo and although she was reluctant for a scrunched asleep belly photo, she did great and was pretty quick to pose.  You just never know what you will get when you go to photograph ANY baby and between the white noise machine and the 85 degree room, they stay quite comfy

CHILDRENS PHOTOGRAPHY

Just had to post some childrens photos of my little girl Charlee who just turned 7 months old on Valentines Day.  It's a couple days late, but here they are!  Instead of going on Etsy and custom ordering a banner, I made one.  I make all of the banners for the Cake Smash Sessions that I photograph for first birthday photos and so I recycled this one from last weekends session.  I couldn't resist!

ORTING+SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Here's some images from a recent Senior Photography Session by Katie Tyree Photography located in Sumner, Washington.  We considered heading to Tacoma for Bailey's senior photography session but we decided to look as local as possible.  Bailey wanted something different than barn doors and trees.  We headed into Sumner, Washington where there's a little restaurant called the Buttered Biscuit and behind that restaurant there's an amazing alley way that I love to use for local seniors that are wanting some diversity.  You can't get any more diverse than this alley.  It has a field full of grass, brick, wood, metal, stair ways, huge colorful walls and best of all it has these narrow corners and entry ways for those awesome headshots. Bailey is a redhead and as you can see, a gorgeous one!  This senior is actually a home schooled senior in the Puyallup, WA area.  She is going to be headed off to Corban, University in Salem, Oregon.

ORTING+NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

My darling little newborn girl Charlee just turned three months old on Sunday.  It's such a bitter sweet age.  She's full of smiles, giggles, and happiness all over, but she's at an awkward age where it's very hard to get her in the studio for photography or even outdoors. Luckily i've got a solution and it includes booking me to do your next shoot! Three and four month old babies are the hardest to photograph because they are so busy observing what is around them and wanting to play, but they can't because they don't have the coordination or ability to tell you what they need.  Newborn photography isn't just sleeping eyes and in posed positions.  I absolutely love to make an older babies shoot a lifestyle photography shoot.  That means in their atmosphere, home, playing, outdoors, etc.  Somewhere with crisp lines and natural light.  My little girl Charlee loves to just lay and smile and coo at her daddy, it's the best way to get her to smile. The other way to photograph a three to five month old is to put them in a large chair, prop them up, or if they have a strong neck some belly photos. 
Here are some examples of three month newborn photography

ORTING + NEWBORN PHOTOS AND BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY


......Did you know that often times you have no idea if a twin is identical or not until after it is born and most of the time doctors still have to test the placenta?  This past December I had the honor to photograph two adorable little girls.  Coral + Dahlia.  I had never had twins in the studio before and I was so excited to hear someone was having twins!  It's an opportunity that doesn't come around everyday.  These girls were the most awake 3 week early babies I had ever photographed.  They were more awake at three weeks premature than some babies I have had at three weeks old.  Being one of the local Seattle Tacoma Newborn Photographers, I really wanted to do this shoot.  It gave me a whole new respect for newborn photography and how hard it truly is.  I love newborns and newborn photography, but two was much harder than one.  A newborn photography session in it self normally take three hours, having two at the same time, trying not to invade the others space even though they have shared it for the last almost 9 months is a task in its own.
I would have to say I would photograph twins any day.  They are so beautiful especially together and the amazing things that make them so different were fun to see.  For instance one of the babies has a birth mark on its belly and the other has none to be found. One of the most interesting things about Coral + Dahlia is that their mother is an identical twin.
