Newborn Photography Session | Chanhassen, MN

How cute is this little baby? It was extra fun to do his newborn photography session in my Chanhassen, MN photo studio because he was so wide awake. Most of the time babies sleep through their session—which is actually what newborn photographers aim for. After all, a sleeping baby is a happy baby! But when baby is calm and wakeful you can get some really fun shots with lots of personality! That was the case with this sweet pumpkin.

You can see that he did sleep a little bit, but mostly he was very interested in everything that was going on and just wanted to check it out. It was so cute to capture those big, gray-blue baby eyes as he stared at me and my camera. He even managed to stay awake for some of the time he was swaddled—which usually gets babies to sleep pretty fast!

I love the fluffy textures we went with for a lot of the outfits and props. Most people think of color first when deciding on the theme of their newborn photography session. But playing around with different textures is another great way to make your pictures stand out.
