Baby Kai- San Francisco Newborn Photography

San Francisco Newborn PhotographerWhen I arrived at Baby Kai’s house, I was instantly in awe over the little bundle of perfection that he was- all 5 lbs of him! So handsome, so sweet and SO good throughout the photo shoot!San Francisco Newborn PhotographerEvery newborn session is different, depending on if the baby is awake or asleep. Since Kai was asleep I decided to take some portraits of just him using a newborn posing bag and a space heater to make his room all cozy and warm. We used his nursery for this part of the photo shoot as the light in it was incredible! The nursery was decorated so sweetly I had to take some pictures of it as well!San Francisco Newborn Photography- Susannah Gill_0098San Francisco Newborn Photography- Susannah Gill_0094San Francisco Newborn Photography- Susannah Gill_0096Mom and Dad’s initials!San Francisco Newborn Photography- Susannah Gill_0097San Francisco Newborn PhotographerKai easily moved into the pose I wanted to photograph him in. I used Dad’s hand to give some scale as to how tiny Kai was! This is what I love about newborn sessions, they are only that really tiny look for a couple of weeks! Before you know it they have lost that newborn look!San Francisco Newborn PhotographerSan Francisco Newborn Photography- Susannah Gill_0107

Still fast asleep, we brought Kai out into the living room and took some family pictures!  San Francisco Newborn Photographer

 

Nestled in Dad’s hands, Baby Kai kept on sleeping and gave us a little smile!  Thank you Kai for that smile, everyone who see this images let’s out a little sound as their heart instantly melts!San Francisco Newborn PhotographerSan Francisco Newborn Photography- Susannah Gill_0106

I packed up my gear and started to say my goodbyes when I saw Mom cuddling with little Kai.  Instructed not to move, the gear was pulled back out and this last final image was captured!

    How funny! One of my friends’ kids born in the last year is also named Kai! Is this a popular name this year?

    Adorable little newborn! I love how you set the story with the nursery, and I love that chair Momma is lounging in, in the last photo! Looks so sweet and comfy!

    What a perfect baby!
    I love this session and how you made that awesome room decor a part of the story. Very beautiful. (I wonder how long the boy’s room will stay so perfect though, 🙂 😉 😉 )

    So much love in these photos!!!
