We are in the middle of a baby boom here at the studio, and I am loving all of these cuddly little newborns coming in for their first portrait session! Sweet little Luke’s family welcomed him over the summer and we captured the most adorable newborn portraits in my Saratoga Springs portrait studio. The local hot air balloon festival has always been significant for this family, so we made sure to incorporate hot air balloons into one of his setups and these are just the most adorable photos!

Every newborn portrait session starts with family photos. I love capturing the first family portrait with the new baby, and these are such special memories to look back on as your little one grows. Are you going to remember how tiny they were, and how their head fit perfectly in the crook of your arm? Or how their five little fingers wrapped perfectly around one of yours? That’s what we do in these family portraits. Slow down time to preserve the memories that. you never want to forget.

Goshhhh, this backlit parent pose is one of my new favorite images to capture during all of our sessions lately!
