From Belly to Baby… San Diego Maternity and Newborn Posing & Photography

I love these double blog posts!  Not only do I get to share a super adorable newborn session with you, but also a gorgeous maternity session too!
Meet baby Quinn!  Isn’t she so cute?  Her lashes were just amazingly long and gorgeous!  I totally want lashes like hers!  Anyways, baby Quinn came to the studio last month for her newborn photography session and we had a great time!  At just one week old, we had a great time posing her and getting a few adorable smiles and expressions from her while she slept peacefully.

I always recommend that newborn sessions be held around seven or eight days for a couple of reasons.  First, coming in super early – like day 3 or 4 – is awesome, but sometimes, if mom is breastfeeding, milk is juuuuuust starting to flow at a somewhat consistent pace, so baby and mommy can begin to figure each other out.  Giving them a few days to get into a rhythm is key to keeping baby content for longer periods of time when feeding.  I also like the 7-8 day range, because I find that close to two weeks old, babies begin to go through a growth spurt, which makes them super HUNGRY for a couple of days.  It is totally workable and I have had amazing photos captured of 2 week old babies, but it does require a bit more work to get there.  After the two week mark, all is good, and posing is still great, but baby’s body begins to change.  I like to capture baby early on, just to really show how scrunchy newborns can be right out of the womb.

Here are a few images from sweet Quinn’s newborn session… scroll down to see where she gets her good looks (maternity session below :))

N and T’s maternity session took place on a super bright and beautiful San Diego day.  Anytime I arrive at the beach and it’s super bright, I usually explain to my clients that we’re going to be ‘killing time’ for a short while as we wait for that sun to dip down and those magical clouds to turn amazing colors.  So on this particular day, as we were ‘killing time’, I decided I would try out a spot with a bit of shade – a lovely moss covered rock that I would stand on in order to photograph this gorgeous couple from above.  I had N and T stand by a rock while I climbed up… Well, the moss covered rock decided it didn’t want me to step on it and I took quite a fall, ripping the skin right off of my leg.  Ouch!  But the camera was ok!  Lol, that is what I was most worried about, haha!  Sophie Crew Photography Maternity photography beach session Full sun beach maternity photo shoot San Diego Maternity and Newborn
