I had the pleasure of meeting Azalea’s mama at the studio for a tour a couple months before she was born. We checked out all of our fun newborn props and other fun things available at the studio for newborns together. Two months later Azalea was born and they returned to the studio for her newborn session. Azalea was just one week old when we took her newborn photos.

We chose mauve and purple because we knew those colors would compliment her skin tone nicely. She was such an easy-going baby and the first thing I noticed about her was her beautiful head of hair!

Her nursery is decorated with butterflies so we wanted to incorporate some butterflies in some way. I couldn’t get enough of her tongue peeking out!

I love to incorporate hands in newborn photos as it shows baby’s size. It’s also a really sweet way to include parents in the image while still keeping the focus on baby.

She opened her eyes every once in a while, but not for long. She was pretty tired and always went right back to sleep. I was able sneak a photo with her eyes open, though!

I enjoyed being able to photograph Azalea and her family. Being able to capture these fleeting moments for this family gives me so much joy because I know how cherished these memories will be for their family
