Folsom newborn photographer- Baby Dominic!

Being a newborn photographer here in Folsom CA is nothing but joy! Having these precious tiny little people in my studio makes me smile so much that I usually leave the session with my cheeks hurting!

My goal for each session is to capture the newborn baby as naturally as possible. While I do use different setups to pose the baby in and on, the goal is always to let the baby be the main focus of the photograph. I feel that props or setups take away from the baby. Babies are magical enough as they are!

From their tiny nose to their tiny toes it’s important to capture all the details that will help you remember this precious time of their lives.  The newborn phase goes by so quickly.  Since parents are usually so exhausted during this time,  it can sometimes be hard to recall this stage!  I know every time I hold a newborn I am blown away by how little they are and can hardly remember my own son ever being that small!

When photographing a newborn with another child it’s important to think about safety first. There is not a single picture in the world worth taking a risk with a baby.

The sibling would never intentionally hurt the baby but sometimes they don’t realize that they need to be super careful when holding them. Or to not suddenly let go of them! Because of this, I photograph the siblings laying down on their backs.  This way if they let go the newborn baby is already stable and safe on the ground.  Plus this pose allows the toddler to relax and just smile!!!
