Okotoks Newborn Session – Iris

A newborn session is a special moment in every parent’s life. It’s a time when you want to capture every little detail of your baby’s first few weeks of life!

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing little Iris at my home studio located just south of Calgary in Okotoks. It was a beautiful session, and we were even able to recreate some of the most memorable moments from her big sister’s newborn session!

We started the session by wrapping her up in a cozy, knitted blanket and taking some close-up shots of her little feet, hands, and face. The purple and greens that we used throughout the session looked stunning against her soft skin, making her look even more adorable!

One of the things that I love about newborn sessions is the opportunity to create unique and memorable shots. We were able to recreate some of the setups that we took during her big sister’s newborn session, which added a sentimental touch to the photoshoot. It was incredible to see the similarities between the two sisters, even at such a young age!

As the session progressed, we took some more candid shots of Iris sleeping and even managed to capture a few smiles. We also took some family shots with Iris and her big sister, which were absolutely heartwarming. There’s something special about capturing the love and bond between siblings, especially at such a young age.

Iris was a perfect little model, and we were able to capture some beautiful pictures that the family will treasure forever. It’s always a privilege to be able to capture such precious moments, and I’m grateful to have been a part of Iris’s first few weeks of life.
