Studio Newborn Session featuring Baby Boy Sabastian by Tomball TX Photographer Debby Ditta Photography

December baby, Sabastian visited the studio for his newborn session. He was due in November, but his late arrival made him a December baby. At his session he was a big boy at 9 pounds. His parents said he was up all night the day before, which was a good thing for me because he slept so well during his session time.

The first 30 to 45 minutes of the newborn session is the parent and family pictures. Our goal is to have baby asleep so they are still and cooperative. In general, if baby is awake, they can be flailing their arms, reminded they are hungry, fussy, wiggling, going google eyed, etc. I send out a newborn prep guide to the parents before the session to give guidance on what to do before they arrive to the studio. It's filled with helpful information on what to expect during their time here, what to wear, and tips on how to maximize the sleep potential for baby.

Below are some of my favorite poses for parents and their baby.

I try to photograph every baby on a solid white backdrop for part of their beanbag images. It's simple, classic and timeless. This is also my favorite time to photograph macro images (close-up images of baby's details).

Did you know that I have a newborn prop clothing collection in my studio? Clients don't have to bring a thing, I've got it covered! I've gathered some of my favorite newborn clothing from vendors all over the world. This little sweater suit is from Australia. I have sizes that will fit a tiny 4 pound newborn on up to a "fluffy" 12 pound newborn baby

Harriet Newborn Baby Girl Session by Professional Newborn and Maternity Photographer Debby Ditta of Tomball, TX

After a long string of baby boys, a little girl came and visited the studio for her newborn session. Harriet is a living doll. She was a big girl in the 9 pound range and so soft ans squishy. She made my job easier by being such a content and sleepy baby. She was born right in the middle of the Fall/Winter season so I worked some pumpkins and Christmas garland into her images. This is my most favorite time of the year for newborns. I love the Christmas season!

My newborn sessions include parent photography (and older siblings) in the session. I usually photograph this part of the session in the beginning so that parents can relax (and change into comfy clothes) for the rest of the newborn session. Sometimes Daddy will head to work after the parent images and Mommy stays for the remainder of the session. Parent images usually take about 20-30 minutes, or if baby is awake/fussy (or if we photograph older siblings too), it can take longer. I help parents get into their poses and tell them when to look at me, when to smile, when to hug, etc. I try to keep the parent poses as stress free and natural as possible. I know it's not a comfortable thing to have a camera in your face, but I promise I can make it feel not so weird.

That little bear in the image below was handmade by her 7 year old cousin as a gift. What a sweet gift for little Harriet and such talent by her cousin.

Every newborn session with me will include close up (macro) images. That sweet profile, button nose, chubby cheeks, furry ear, baby chick hair, and pouty lips will all change so quickly. They will only be a memory very soon and looking back on these images will be a forever reminder of how newborn baby Harriet looked after she was just born.

Galveston Beach Maternity Session by Debby Ditta Photography of Tomball, TX

I made the 100 mile drive to the beach in Galveston for Tina and David's Maternity Session. The beach makes a beautiful backdrop for most any type of session and I'm happy we were able to make it work with our calendars. They are going to be surprised at the birth to find out the gender of their new baby. I admire their patience! Because the gender is a surprise, Tina selected a neutral color palate for their clothing in black, white, and sandy brown.

One thing that is almost guaranteed at the beach is wind. We had such a windy time at the session. It can be a challenge with hair, but can be a beauty for flowing, wind blown maternity gowns. Another thing that is guaranteed on the beach is crowds. Making it look like we were the only ones on the beach was something playing in my head the whole time I was photographing my clients. Even though I did my best to avoid capturing other beach-goers in the frame, I still had people to edit out of many of the final images.

This was big brother, Nolan's very first time to touch ocean water. If he had a choice, he would have left us and went swimming. At the end of the session, he ended up completely wet from sitting in the water.

Congratulations to the whole family! I'm excited to meet baby soon for his/her newborn session!

Pierce's One Year Airplane Birthday Session by Debby Ditta Photography of Tomball, Texas

What a special day this was for all of us at Pierce's session. A lightening / thunderstorm was glooming over us and we had to push the session time back. We made special arrangements for this airport location (had to have security with us, etc.) and we were limited on time. The clouds broke away and the rain stopped! All was good

It was like a dream.

Pierce is enrolled in the One Year Plan, The Baby Bee Package. So, he's been photographed four times with me over his first year. For every one of his sessions, we have photographed him with his Restoration Hardware airplane toy. It really shows how much he has grown over the year.

We went to our local airport for this session. I'm not sure if I can pull stings to make another airport session happen because of security purposes (we had security with us). But it was an amazing experience!
