The Three Most Adorable Sisters In Studio Newborn Session in Fairfield County

July 15, 2019/ Kristin Wood

Oh my goodness I loved having these three sisters in the studio for baby’s newborn session! When this family walked in to my studio in Darien, I was just in AWE of their GORGEOUS children! What a lucky man Dad is to have a house full of lovely ladies! :)

Mom and baby came to the studio first to get ready for the session! Mom picked out this beautiful neutral gorgeous dress from the Client Wardrobe (which could not have been more perfect for her!), and I got busy taking individual portraits of their new baby! Sweet girl was wide awake so I was able to capture some portraits of her awake and asleep! Once Mom was dressed we captured a few images with her and her newborn baby girl!

When we were finishing up, Dad arrived with the big sisters! Mom picked out dresses from the Client Wardrobe for her daughters to wear and we started the family portion of the session! When toddler aged siblings are involved, I work as quickly as possible to capture those “must have” moments. So often, our younger aged siblings are still trying to adjust and sitting still beside this new baby is NOT their idea of a fun day! But luckily these big sisters were amazing and needed no bribing to love on their new baby! :) Newborn sessions with siblings tend to be a little different than sessions with a first baby. I really put the emphasis on the family together and the siblings, as that is usually what Momma cares about most! But I always try to still get a few portraits of Mom with the baby alone because baby will love those the most :)

Here is a glimpse at their session!

Beautiful Baby Girl Newborn Session | Connecticut Newborn Photographer Kristin Wood

July 03, 2019/ Kristin Wood

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful baby girl’s newborn session recently at my Connecticut studio. You might recognize Mama as I did her maternity session as well! It is so amazing to be able to photograph a pregnant Mama at her maternity session and then see her holding that precious baby she was dreaming about just a month or so before! Her Mama is a teacher and has the sweetest soul. My favorite part of my job is meeting so many new people! I always love hearing their birth stories and about their adventures as new parents!

As a newborn photographer, I’m meeting people days after giving birth (and usually after a few sleepless nights). Hormones are going crazy, your body is in a state of flux, and often you just feel tired and overwhelmed. I love being able to provide a relaxing environment for my clients to just sit and be pampered for a couple of hours. My makeup artist, Angelina, is so incredible not only with makeup, but as a therapist, is always so comforting! Being one of the first people trusted to hold your brand new baby is not something I take lightly. I give them the utmost care while they are with me (and try to give you a little break by taking care of diaper changes!). I give your precious babies lots of cuddles and baby talk while I get them wrapped up and sleepy for their session. Loving on your babies is such a treat!

Here are some of my favorite images from this Newborn Session!

Fairfield County Newborn Photographer | CT Studio Newborn Session by Kristin Wood Photography

June 06, 2019/ Kristin Wood

This gorgeous family made the short drive from Greenwich to my studio in Darien for their Newborn Session. They had one adorable little girl already and were welcoming another baby girl to the family! They did a delayed Newborn session so baby was about 7 weeks old during her session.

We styled the whole family, even Dad, from the Client Closet for this session and they looked amazing. Mom chose one of my favorite Free People dresses and a stunning Fillyboo dress to wear during the session. We put big sis in a Jamie Kay ivory dress and Dad in an ivory shirt. The outfits blended so well together and put all the focus on their connection and emotions.

Big sister was so in love with her new baby! It is always so fun to see how the siblings are going to react to their new baby. This baby was BEAUTIFUL. Just look at those big, bright eyes! They were a dream to photograph and such nice people!

Enjoy!

Connecticut Studio Lifestyle Newborn Session | Fairfield County Ct

January 17, 2019/ Kristin Wood

Ah the Russ session. There are no words for how beautiful Brooke is! I loved working with her and her family!

Brooke decided to have my makeup artist do her makeup (gosh it looked amazing too) so when she arrived, she looked through the studio wardrobe and selected her dress (she made the perfect choice!) and then got some pampering by the lovely Angelina of Beautymarked Studio. While Mom was busy relaxing and getting that “new mom glow” from Angelina, I took individual images of her sweet baby girl! She slept a little bit for me and then woke up ready to eat and was so curious the rest of her session! When Mom was finished getting ready, Dad and big brother arrived. We selected some shirts from the studio wardrobe for them and let Mom feed baby (we take as many breaks as we need to tend to all babies needs!).

Big brother was so sweet and called his sister “Baby Giiiiirl”! Be still my heart! I used some of those tricks I have up my sleeve to get him to engage with the baby for the photos and they turned out so cute.

I really want my studio sessions to be as natural and authentic as possible, even though we are in a studio environment. I see my part as being the “placer” as I put my clients in the right spot for the best lighting. I then give them some direction and click away at the magic that happens while they love on each other!

This session turned out so lovely! Here are a few of my favorite images from the session!

Connecticut Newborn Photographer | Baby Josie's Newborn Studio Session in Fairfield County, CT

January 15, 2019/ Kristin Wood

Kicking off the New Year with one of my favorite sessions from last year! This family is everything a photographer dreams of in a client. They love each other deeply and aren’t afraid to show that in front of the camera. They are kind, funny and authentic. I absolutely adored Jamie and really got to know her while she was getting pampered by my makeup artist!

When Jamie arrived, she came in like a breath of fresh air! We went right to work selecting her wardrobe and my makeup artist Angelina was already set-up and waiting to get started on giving her that “new mom glow.“ While she had her makeup done, I started taking individual portraits of her precious baby girl. We all chatted and laughed as we compared pregnancy and birth stories.

Once Mom was dressed and ready, I began to photograph she and baby together. This is my FAVORITE part of Newborn sessions. There is nothing more special and precious than a Mom with her brand new baby. About the time we were finishing up, Dad and big brother arrived! We moved right into family portraits, sibling portraits and then Dad and baby portraits! Big brother Noah did fantastic and was so loving toward his new baby sister.

Here are a few of my favorite images from their session!
