Jana gave me a call a couple of years back to photograph her new baby. Bella came into the studio with the cutest little smile and just loved every minute of the session. I used my natural light style with a large window for fill, and my large softbox for the key light, and just a little bit of backlight for the background. I love adding black and white to a session, but Bella looked so good with the blue tones, pinks and whites, that I wanted to keep those soft pastels as the styling for the session.

I love photographing detail for weddings and editorial shoots, so I took the same approach with Bella with her shoes and tiny hands. Also using my macro lens I was able to get that depth and softness along with sharpness, having a great lens with perfect glass makes a huge difference in photography.  I also love creating art pieces that have some unique style, for Bella’s creation I wanted to show a baby in bloom, growing like a beautiful flower. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session.
