Sweet Baby Max||Gastonia Newborn Photos
One of my favorite things about being a newborn photographer is featuring my sweet clients and being able to re-live the session in a blog post. This little guy came to the studio in September and I just about DIED when I saw his beautiful head of RED HAIR! I mean, just LOOK at his strawberry fluff!
Baby Max came to the studio and slept the entire time–guys, this DOES NOT always happen! But he was an absolute DREAM! When newborn clients book a session with KatieRie Photography, I send a Newborn Studio Guide to help parents prepare for their session. These are my list of secrets as a (somewhat self-) proclaimed baby whisperer! I tell them that I know sometimes babies won’t comply 100 percent, but to try to follow the guide so that our session can go extremely smooth. Nine times out of ten–it works! Can you tell that baby Max’s parents read the guide?!
We were able to get many different looks during Max’s session–a great mixture of “beanbag” poses (the first set of photos in this post) as well as prop poses. The colors that were chosen were soft neutrals that were perfect for the beginning of fall. Plus Max looked absolutely adorable in every single set-up! I love using a variety of textures and layers to add depth and character to each “look.” But I also like the set-ups to compliment each other so everything will look gorgeous hanging in clients’ homes!
Overall, Max’s session was a HUGE success. I think Max thought so too.
My studio is equipped with all different wraps, textures and props–no need to bring a THING! I mean–look at these delicate headbands! I have TONS of gorgeous pieces that are handmade specifically for baby photos. The headbands used during Lily’s session were made by my beautiful friend over at 
During the maternity session, mom shared with me that their precious baby was LONG awaited for. Baby Jack was a rainbow baby. Now, ALL babies are special and precious and perfect little miracles, but rainbow babies represent the promise of hope after a storm. I truly LOVE my job, but when I hear stories like this it takes the emotion to a whole new level. I am extremely humbled and honored to be chosen to capture these special moments for families.
When clients book their Newborn Sessions with KatieRie Photography, they choose between three packages. Your proof gallery will be presented with MORE images than your package states, and then you get to choose your favorites (the amount depends on which package you choose) PLUS you have the option to purchase more files. Nine times out of ten, clients purchase more images. Jack was SO ADORABLE in ALL of his images, mom and dad wanted ALL of his photographs. This means their house will be FILLED with glorious images of this sweet little nugget.
Sweet baby Jack, you are loved more than you know…
I chose a variety of colors and hues from the 
And of course we had gorgeous shots of Baby Bodhi with mom and dad…
So much love for this little guy<3
