Welcoming Ella Rose

Newborn Photography, Harlingen, TX - Ella Rose

Hi! Welcome to the blog. I’m so happy you dropped in to read all about Ella Rose. This sweet baby girl was welcomed home by her newly promoted big brother, furry sibling, mom, and dad.

On this quiet morning, sweet Ella was eating and getting a wardrobe change while I set up in their beautiful home. The details in her nursery were breathtaking. She has the coziest little nursery.

Once we were ready to go, big brother came over to say hi and get to know me a little. He is just the most curious and happy little guy. I’m always so excited to hear what big siblings have to say about their new role. Some tend to be a little shy at first, but after a brief game of ‘let the toddler be the boss,’ they tend to warm up to the idea of a photo shoot.

Sometimes families want to know the secret formula for getting their toddlers or older siblings to cooperate before the photo session… but in reality, it comes down to the day of. They are my tiny bosses and I tend to just follow their flow.

You can certainly help little ones be at their best by feeding them, allowing them to have plenty of fluids, and a full night’s sleep before the session… but in reality, the natural flow works for me. I don’t want you to stress about that part, I promise it will work out.

Find your own chill and the stars will align. :)

If you’d like to book you very own in-home newborn photography session, I’d love to be your photographer.

These sessions allow you to stay within the comfort of your own space. They are unique to you and are a great way to look back at this stage in your life when you reminisce with your kids later in life.

It makes me so happy to capture the essence of your home and the connection between you and your family members.

I can’t wait to meet you!

Norma

Meet Leo

Bright & Airy In-Home Newborn Session, Alamo, Texas

Baby Leo recently joined his beautiful family. He has a big brother and two sweet parents who are currently over the moon with how chill this little guy is.

Big brother M was telling me all about his brother and his favorite movie soundtrack… I’m a fan of Mulan too, kiddo. :)

While we got acquainted, talked about movies and that darn trouble maker in Mulan, we also snapped some sweet photos of this new family of four.

The beauty of having me come to you is that your toddler feels at home, gets to show off their favorite monster truck and you feed your sweet new little one on your own time and in your own space.

It’s truly a joy to welcomed into your lives for a brief moment to watch all the beauty unfold. It fills my soul with memories of those early days with my littles too.

So thank you G Family! It was wonderful to meet you all. I hope we get to catch up again soon!

Baby Leo, you rocked your first photo shoot.
