So... busy season of Fall Family Photography is almost finished... deadlines for Christmas cards, prints, Digital Packages, Gift Cards... it has been such a BLESSED season (and year) for my growing business. I've been editing all the family sessions, there hasn't been time to keep up with the blog. Sorry, blog... I still love you <3 Now, I can take a deep breath and focus on things to come in the new year, new additions to products and special things I'll be offering my beloved clients. It's almost like being excited for Christmas to arrive! I'll be announcing some surprises soon (no, I'm not pregnant, lol).
Meet little baby Oliver. We photographed his newborn session between Thanksgiving and Christmas and so that means CHRISTMAS PROPS!!! Yes, I'm excited! My favorite time of the year to photograph newborns is November and December (I have November and December babies of my own). I get out all the frosted pine cones, winter greenery, holly, berry wreaths, plaid... there's too much to list. I aim to make every newborn session unique and stay mostly classic and timeless with the session, but season the session with a little Christmas.
That sunken in bottom lip. When your children are older, you'll forget all their precious details without photographs 
<3 I have a teenager now and no matter how hard I try to imagine...I cannot remember his squishy cheeks. I do however, have his squish cheeks in photographs
Which image do you prefer? Oliver is in the same bowl set-up but two different lighting scenarios. In the top image, light source is bottom right corner of image and bottom image, light is top left corner (more moody shadows).
Oliver's Daddy loves photography and so we turned Oliver into a baby landscape photographer
Oliver has such amazing hair, it's almost 2 inches long already! I almost didn't want to cover it up with a hat, but he looks oh so cute as a friendly bear.
Oliver is one of the most relaxed and sleepy babies of 2017 for sure. He was so calm for his session and loved every pose I put him in <3 He thought it was baby-spa-day, he was so relaxed.
Oliver knew how to work the camera and ROCKED his parent pose! That's the sweetest baby face ever!
Newborn fur and rolls are two of my favorite things...

My recent session for one year planner Pierce (the smiley, chubby 6 month old seen in the session images below) was at one of my favorite locations to recommend, so I thought I'd take a moment to blog about it.
There is a spot very close to the studio where I love to recommend to my clients for their early to mid morning sessions (in the afternoon, the sun shines in the opposite direction, making the lighting unfavorable... too bright). There's never anyone else there, the lighting is oh so pretty, there's usually tall grass and wild flowers, and we may see a bunny rabbit bounce by. If nature and trees are your cup of tea, then I'll probably be recommending this spot to you. I warn my clients this "This is a spot that I've passed by every day for 2 years and never noticed until I took my daughter out there for her birthday session. It is nothing fancy from the street, but up close, it's something magical". I nicknamed this location Memorial Forest. It's a dreamy location.

The past 4 months has been a hurried blur with the end of summer coming to a close and school starting for my 3 kids here in Texas. Then I jump right into the busy season from September to November for Fall/Christmas Family photography . So when I say the past four months has gone by so quickly... I really mean it. Newborn baby Elliott was just here for her newborn session it feels like. She has grown so much since she was here last. She is finding her feet (I love it!), enjoying tummy time, and smiling for us.
So... what is a typical four month session like here at Debby Ditta Photography? Look below! This is the shortest of all sessions at usually only 20-30 minutes (not like the 3-4 hour newborn session). Since the 4 month old can go from happy/smiley to grumpy/moody in a quick minute, I have to keep this session moving fast. This is not the session to have elaborate set-ups and props since baby is not in the mood and cannot sit at this age.
For simplicity, I bring baby back on the beanbag one more time while they are still little. Here, I aim to achieve the simple close-ups and playing with feet action. Sometimes if baby is happy with tummy time, then I'll get some cute poses on tummy.
Then I move onto 4 month old friendly props. Since most 4 month olds are not sitters yet, I photograph baby in a prop from above.
If your newborn was photographed by me, then I love to add some comparison collages to show how much has changed in the last 4 months. Isn't it amazing? My hair barely grows a half an inch and yet a baby completely changes in a matter of four months!
Another comparison collage because I like collages, okay?
