After a gorgeous weekend with quite a few hours spent outside in the glorious sunshine, it’s now Monday morning and the sun is shining again. All the windows are open in my home and a lovely breeze is coming through. It’s a perfect day. 🙂 It’s also an ideal time to remind families that I do outdoor newborn sessions and mid-June until early August is the really the only time that we can do these special sessions. It’s got to be warm enough outside to keep baby comfy. During this short timeframe, I usually do just a couple of these sessions each summer. I wish the hot weather lasted longer in Ontario. I wish I could do way more of these, but I’m thankful for the outdoor newborn sessions I am able to do.
Outdoor newborn sessions are very casual and family-focused. They are a great fit for families who are looking for something more organic and less-traditional than typical “posed newborn photos”. Most of the time, you’ll be holding baby in your arms. For families that have a toddler, this is a great choice because they can be free to roam about in the outdoors and they can come in and out of the photos as they please.
This sweet family of three had me take photos of their baby girl who was just shy of 1-month old. We used one of my favourite summer locations – this gorgeous flower garden park that gets the perfect golden sunset light. I gently guided them with gentle direction around the garden, all while they loved on their new baby girl. As always, my families end up with huge galleries of images to share and print.
If you are looking for a summer newborn session, I have some July spots that would be perfect for outdoor newborn photos. These are great for babies 1-3 months old.
