Anna | Franklin TN newborn photographer

Since joining the studio in January, I’ve been doing all of my newborn sessions there.  Frankly, it’s easier on me since I can set-up before clients arrive and know my lighting source and space.  Anna’s mama really wanted her session to be at their Franklin home, though, so I went there to meet the new family of 3 last week.  Considering I did in-home newborn sessions for several years, it was kind of like putting on a pair of old, comfortable shoes.  It was fun to get to figure out how to incorporate or work with the home’s different elements.  We were doing most of the shooting in the kitchen, as kitchens frequently have the largest windows or those with the best natural light.   I was working to determine one of the prop set-ups when I realized how amazing it would be to take advantage of the circular woven rug that we were standing on.  The resulting image is one of my favorites.  I’m kind of obsessed with it!  It was an added bonus that sweet baby Anna decided to smile then, too!  (See the first image below.) She was a dream of a baby to work with– slept well and posed easily (with the exception of her death-grip fingers that I had to work on a lot to get them to lay flat!  Ha!)  This family was a pleasure to meet and photograph, for sure.
