Another completely wonderful session with this little girl this week.  She was a dream to photograph and is truly gorgeous.  She has already been asked to be a model for the teddy bear headband (in use here) and will be featured on a newborn website.  Not too shabby for 8 days old!

Oh!  This little baby was just delightful and was a total angel during her newborn portrait session.  She was a picture of perfection, weighting only 5 pounds!  We had to get one image of her daddy holding her in his hands just to show scale.  If you put your hands together, just like dad's are in the bottom picture, you can get a sense of how petite this little one is.   Just perfect!

So much personality can be captured in a few clicks of the shutter.  This baby girl stole the show at her portrait session with tons of smiles and letting her little self shine right through the camera.  I love big smiles, and we got a lot at this session, but I am in love with this sweet little stare she gave me when we started her mini portrait session.

Clothing for your Milestone Session | Ann Lyle Photography | Framingham, MA

I am often asked where to buy clothes for a milestone session (for Babies 3-12 months old).  I have a few favorite places that always have photo ready clothing:  Zara, Baby Gap, and Target.  Zara is a fabulous find - we have one close to the studio at Natick Mall in Natick, MA.

 

Here are my favorite tips when looking for clothing for your little ones:

1.  Things to avoid:

  •  Shirts with collars - Little boys look so cute dressed up, but in a session, those collars climb up and hide your little boy's neck.  At 1 year, it can work, but best to avoid them.

  • Neons, reds or bright pinks - these bright colors reflect onto your little one's face and distorts their coloring.  

  • No shoes or tights - let's show off those little toes!  It's also a great way for your images to be timeless.

2.  Things to do:  

  • Buy Solid colors or mild prints  - look for classic looks in solid colors.  You want your baby to be the star of the session, not the clothing. 
  • Go smaller - Buy a size that fits - not something your baby will "grow into."  You want the clothing to fit snugly in your milestone session.  Clothing that is too big is unattractive and will leave large gaps and dark shadows in your portraits.  
  • Try the clothes on before you come to the studio!  Makes sense, right?  You want to make sure it will fit
  • Irons are our friends Iron your baby's clothing before you come.  

MOST IMPORTANT:  Comfortable children take better photos  That's it.  If your child is uncomfortable in their clothing, they will not be happy during our session together.  It's that simple.  We want happy children and a successful session.  Bring them in sweatpants!  I can still get an amazing photo for you - I promise!!

 

I am here to answer any questions!
