Little Annie’s Newborn Portraits

On the morning of Friday, December 4th, 2020, KLJ Studios had the pleasure of capturing Newborn Family Portraits with Ashley, Miguel, and beautiful little Annie. This was an in-studio Newborn Portrait session at KLJ Studios, located at 424 1st Street in Historic Downtown Woodland, California. The session was booked to capture Annie’s newborn stage. This is the first time we have had the pleasure of photographing this family. They found KLJ Studios from a newborn model call to test out some of our new newborn poses. The Lead Photographer for the session was Kelly Lynn and the Photography Assistant was Beckie. Makeup was provided by Veronica Gersalia Makeup Artistry.
During the session Annie was a complete dream and let us get through a total of 5 different looks. The typical newborn session takes about 3 hours. Annie was so good that it only took an hour and a half. Our little diva was so great for the portraits by herself, but then became a little fussy during the portraits with her parents. This little one is meant for the spotlight.
Some advice I could give for new clients is to bring your little one in for newborn portraits from between 5 to 8 days old. 5 days after birth gives you time to relax and 8 days is right before babies start cluster feeding. When a baby is cluster feeding, and therefore constantly feeding, the session gets interrupted, and the baby becomes over-stimulated. At this point the baby will not want to do anything for the session. You can also account for date of birth, so if the little one was born early you have a little wiggle room as to when they will begin cluster feeding.
Ashley and Miguel, thank you for trusting me with your precious bundle of joy. Annie was the perfect model and so sweet. I can’t wait to capture more memories for you.
