Everly Rose: Newborn Portrait Session in Dover, NH

I have been SO excited to share this session but I am going to be very upfront about how biased I am about this baby! Little Everly was born on October 22, 2017, and this little beauty made my sweet girlfriend and auntie. There is absolutely nothing like watching someone that they just became an auntie!

Mom and Dad arrived to the studio around 11:30, and got a chance to see each prop and outfit that I pulled out. Their nursery is adventure themed, with a heavy emphasis on travel and the wonderment of exploration. I knew we were going to be using some outdoor elements! Mom - Danielle- was pretty excited about this little set up!

After getting everyone settled in and comfortable at the studio, Everly was undressed and ready to begin! I love to start with baby in this particular pose or prop, because they love being wrapped up and secure. This type of image is called a composite; for baby's safety, someone always was supporting her head, and this image is created by taking two images and "stitching" them together. I hired auntie as the help, and she did great!

I knew this family was so excited to be sending out holiday cards and wanted something festive, so we incorporated these gorgeous holly berries from the local farmers market. 

From our fun holiday themes we turned towards more earthy elements, to stay with images that may compliment Cody and Danielle's current home decor. When they have images from their session up on the walls of their home, it will show that they were designed to be there!

We took a short break for Everly to have a snuggle with mom and eat. Once her belly was happy and full we were able to create some absolutely STUNNING portraits of her family!

I think one of the most exciting moments of the session was realizing that we were going to be able to create a three generations photograph, and also one with Mom, her daughters, and her granddaughter. Having recently gone through some old photographs ( some over 70 years old!) it made me tear up to think of how special it would be for them to have these images in their home for Everly to see when she grows up. 

​The best part? In addition to this family portrait Everly will have all of these incredible photographs in an Heirloom album, something that her family will be able to open and cherish for years and years to come. I was too excited to wait and had to snap a photo of it as soon as it came in!

Happy Birthday, Ev! And Congratulations to Cody, Danielle, Kendra and Kaylie on the newest and most perfect addition to your family!
