Kristina and Ricky have the most adorable kids. Like seriously cute with their blonde hair, blue eyes and contagious smiles. They are neighbors down the street, and fellow small business owners. Kristina is a talented hair stylist, and Rick is a well-respected home improvement specialist. I have had the good fortune to photograph them several times throughout the years. Most recently, for Kristina’s maternity photos, modeling a couple dresses in my collection.

The couple recently welcomed their third child, Iveigh, and they visited me in my studio here in Fisher. We wanted to be sure to include her older siblings (check out the magic captured below) and get some family pictures with mom & dad too, so we held the session in the afternoon once school was over. During the session, baby girl was awake for pictures by herself, however when it came time for family pictures, she was lulled to sleep by the sounds of her siblings voices. I often find that babies with older siblings need a bit more background noise in order to relax. Iveigh also enjoyed being swaddled, which is a great way to keep arms and legs from flailing around while awake, and to keep babies warm, snuggly and feeling secure.

The neutral colors of the family’s wardrobe ensured that their new addition would be the focus. Neutral and muted tones are always in style which adds to the timelessness that these type of in-studio lifestyle sessions embody. This style of newborn photography also allows for a more relaxed newborn picture experience, along with a shorter session time, since baby is photographed asleep or awake (as long as they are happy and content).
