Harper: 6 days old | Nashville TN newborn photographer

Yesterday, I got to meet newborn Harper, her parents, and her two furry “siblings” (dogs).  Harper put up a bit of a protest early on during our shoot, but we prevailed and ended up with some of my favorite newborn photos that I have ever taken!

The beaded headband you see was a recent purchase for me from Etsy.  When I saw it, I had a feeling it would be really beautiful, but I was blown away by how elegant and perfect it was.  Harper’s mama agreed with me. 🙂  The basket (see near the bottom of the post) and both the wrap and blanket in the first image below were also new for this session.  I find that I am really drawn to the natural tone-on-tone and texture in this first image.  Shopping-wise, I have a tendency to pick things up along the way, even if I have no newborns scheduled  in the immediate future.  As I near the date of a newborn session, I also tend to start perusing Etsy as well.  I always encourage my expectant mamas to do the same in case there is something specific that they want to incorporate.  Though it wasn’t intended for our shoot (it was actually from Harper’s baby shower), the sign on the front door was so cute that I couldn’t resist documenting it.

I am so excited to share this preview with all of you.  If you have a favorite image, I’d love to hear about it either here or on Facebook!
