I am super excited to be able to introduce you to Lillian! I
have been waiting for this cutie’s arrival with great anticipation for several
weeks now, and I’m so glad she’s finally here!
Isn’t she a sweetheart? You may remember her parents’ maternity
session from last month, but if you missed it, be sure to check it out here.
Summer and Ben did their maternity session at Zumwalt park and I had a wonderful
time photographing them. I have been looking forward to meeting their little
one ever since, and I’m happy to report that she arrived healthy, happy, and
cute as a button! I loved being her newborn
photographer, and I know you’re going to love her pictures!
It was wonderful for me to see Summer and Ben again and to
catch up with them on all the changes that have happened in their lives since
becoming parents! It’s the best thing in the world—but it definitely takes some
getting used to. It was so great to welcome them and their new baby daughter to
my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon
for Lillian’s newborn photography
session.
Although extremely photogenic, Lillian wasn’t a huge fan of
being posed. She did love being wrapped and held, so I think she must be a
great little snuggler—always happiest when being cuddled in her mom or dad’s
arms—but other than that she didn’t want to be bothered much. Despite her
objections, we still managed to get some great pictures—through a combination of
using lots of swaddling in the photographs, which is what she was most tolerant
of, and dogged persistence!
I think the extra work paid off nicely, don’t you?
We went for a very basic, almost duochromatic color scheme
for Lillian’s newborn photography
session, and I really love the clarity and simplicity it brings to the
photographs—most noticeably in the collage. The traditional pink and white,
mixed with just a couple of black and white shots, is absolutely beautiful.
Oh, and speaking of absolutely beautiful, take a look at
that lower righthand photograph just above. I always love it when I catch a shot of a newborn
in a wakeful state, but Lillian makes it even better by putting on one of the
cutest expressions I have ever seen! It’s just impossible not to fall in love
with her.
As I said, I love the straightforward color scheme of this newborn photography session, but we did
branch out a bit into the realm of forget-me-not blue and violet in the shot
below. I think these slightly richer colors also suit Lillian really well, and
I love the way her sweet little lips are pursed in this picture. You can tell
she’s humoring me, can’t you?
I feel so lucky to have gotten to know Lillian and her
family a little bit over the last few weeks. They’re great people—happy and
down to earth—and I hope I get to work with them again. It’s been a real
pleasure!
