It has to be said, our clients make super cute babies. You may remember Jackie & Myles who were featured on our blog a few years back fo their winter wedding and engagement. Well they recently welcomed a baby boy into their lives. We were so happy to hear that they wanted to have their son’s first portraits captured by us. Its truly an honor when couples invite us into their homes to document these very exciting milestones in their lives.
When we photograph baby portraits we like to keep it simple, clean and timeless. We don’t like to add in props that don’t make sense (ie: little baby hats made from lettuce, or giant fake flowers, oversized flower pots.) Our rule for props is; if it is apart of your child’s daily life, then bring it. We want to photograph your baby in all its cuteness. We don’t need nor want to distract from the fact that you made this adorable human being with fake plants, costumes, and contrived poses. If you are looking for ways to embarrass your baby in the future with those types of photos then contact your local grocery store portrait studio, they are amazing at those types of photos (and we know because we used to be those photographers.)
Our goal is to create beautiful images that capture this stage in your babies life. Images that you will want to look at and awww over for a very long time.
Thanks Jackie & Myles for inviting us to your home to meet this adorable baby boy!
Congratulations! & see you in the spring for your first family portraits.
Erika & Ryan






Ryan Rowell - Thanks so much Connie
Connie Canario - wow.. these photos are incredible.
Christine Lewis - Thanks so much, I appreciate the info!!
Ryan Rowell - We bring lights, use whatever looks best. to be honest, babies (between newborn to 4 months or so) don’t like flash unless they have had their parents in their faces with a camera a lot so using continuous light sources is best not to disturb them. We use what the situation dictates. in this case we used lights (flash) combined with window light.
Christine Lewis - Your photos are gorgeous as always and truly an inspiration! Mind if I ask if you bring any type of lighting with you for newborns? Or just use the natural light available? Thanks!
Jennifer Huffman Zwolak - if I see a another child with a giant flower on the side of their head I am going to snap!
Nicole Despins - So nice to see when two beautiful people can make such a beautiful babe…
Della Hanchar - These pictures are wonderful, but that baby is sooo BEAUTIFUL!
Lisa Mark Hines - Wow, totally LOVE these! I fully agree – make it about the baby, not props!
Jackie - Thank you two for doing such an amazing job. We love the pictures. It’s funny the ones you posted are the ones Myles and i both really liked as well.

Lisa Mark Hines - Wow, totally LOVE these! I fully agree – make it about the baby, not props!
