When I go to a client home to photograph a newborn baby, I am always looking for details to incorporate into the session that will help describe the beginning of this babies life. And when I went to photograph baby Z for his natural light newborn portraits in San Francisco, I was delighted to find that the details in this home awaiting this beautiful baby boy were very heartfelt. His crib was originally his mothers when she was a baby, having been purchased by baby Z’s great grandmother in India. It was gorgeous! His sterling silver rattle had also belonged to his mother when she was a baby. The textiles in the home made for a colorful background for the session. Then we used the same blue polka dot sari fabric that we had photographed the mom in our maternity session 6 weeks earlier – but this time with her sleeping newborn son wrapped in it. And if that was not enough, I had two doting grand parents on site to photograph with their newborn grandson. It was a very colorful love fest for my camera :)
