Mommy and Me.... A Motherhood Session of Lindsey and her babies by Tomball, TX Photographer Debby Ditta Photography

During the last few weeks of summer, I got together with a long time client for a Mommy and Me session. As a Mommy myself, I know summertime is way too fast. I was thinking to myself that during the session, she's holding her babies now and she'll soon be packing lunches and sending the kids off to school.

I photographed little sister Avery as a newborn baby and she's a Baby Bee graduate (the one year plan). I've included an image from her newborn session below for reference.

We got sooooo lucky to have this roll of hay out in the field. I've never seen one here in all the years I've visited it.

I recommend to their Mommy, to print this one huge... to honor that day in the grassy field where these two kids got along...

Here is an image of these two cherubs from 5 years ago!

Twins Harper and Sawyer Newborn Session by Baby Photographer Debby Ditta of Tomball, TX

Two twin little girls that look so completely different, Harper and Sawyer. Before Christmas, their Daddy contacted me about surprising his wife with a Gift Certificate. So, technically... I've been excited about this session for 4 months... just waiting on these twin girls to arrive. They are each so unique and beautiful. One looks just like Mommy and the other looks just like her Daddy.

This smoky pink color backdrop looks so beautiful with the girls.

This pose is called the "potato sack" pose. You can't see it, but I have an assistant on each side of the girls with their hands holding them upright under the layer of fur. They are getting hugged by my assistants.

These girls were most content when touching eachother. They look so womb-like. It's hard to imagine what they must have looked like a few weeks ago in their mommy's tummy.

Sawyer on the top image and Harper on the bottom.

Behind the scenes of my assistants soothing the girls before their bowl shot. It took a few minutes of comfort before the girls were ready. Behind every image is a safety assistant caring and watching over the baby during their pose. Each of my assistants LOVE babies. They each have four babies of their own and enjoy spending time with my littlest clients.

Each baby received macro images in their gallery (close-ups) of their tiny newborn features. Top collage is Sawyer and bottom is Harper.

I typically photograph 2-3 sets of twins a year. Even for a singleton baby, I plan ahead the flow of the session before parents even arrive. I'll pick out the props that will fit the size of the baby, colors of backdrops and wraps that are based on the colors of clients' home and nursery, and have everything laid out ready for parents to see before the session. With twins, I prepare a plan but realize that my ideas can be modified based on feedings, the mood of the baby etc. These girls were very content and needed no modifications from the original plan. We finished the session within 4 hours like a usual singleton newborn session. Then my assistants and I enjoyed some Torchy's Tacos for lunch afterwards.

Katelyn's Newborn Session by Photographer Debby Ditta of Tomball, Texas

My clients are returning for a newborn session with their third little girl. Katelyn was welcomed with loving arms by her family. It seems like I was just photographing big sister Maggie for her newborn session, and I may add... they look so much alike, it was like photographing the same baby all over again.

I have three babies of my own... now they are 16, 13, and 7 years old. I remember each time a new baby was born, it was like my heart grew bigger with love for each new baby. It was like I just had my first baby all over again. So, I can imagine how my clients feel bringing in their second...third...fourth...babies. It's the same love they had for the first every time.

Posing for the newborn with parents is maybe my favorite part of the session. Sometimes I see new Mommies become overwhelmed with feelings and happy cry. I'm right there happy crying with them... Pregnancy is long and a hard road sometimes. I remember thinking it would last forever and then all of the sudden I was holding my new baby. The newborn session is emotional at times because baby will never be that little ever again. My own baby is learning how to drive these days... he was once a little 6 pound baby and now he's driving.

Katelyn was the little piece of the puzzle that makes their family complete.

When planning the newborn session ahead of time, I really have no idea how older siblings are going to act for the big sibling and baby part of the session. There are some exceptions like these sisters. I knew for sure that they would be so cooperative and gentle with the new baby. We achieved some family heirloom pictures for their family with these sibling images.

Katelyn's Mommy just told me to do whatever I want, she trusts me with artistry of the session... that's like music to my ears. I feel my most creative when I hear that... so I came up with this little set up of the garden bed and succulents. There's a little behind the scenes image at the end of the blog post of what it looks like when capturing this image.

She has such pretty baby features and detailed close ups... those baby feet with chubby toes and little baby fingers... Her button nose, baby curl, sweet profile are each a piece of art in itself.

You may recognize my clients from a recent blog post featuring their maternity session. Here is the link to see what they looked like before Katelyn arrived:

Clara Rose Newborn Session by Debby Ditta Photography of Tomball Texas

Introducing newborn baby girl Clara Rose. With a name like Rose, I wanted to incorporate pastel floral tones in blush, cream, a little bit of red (she is a December/ Christmas Season baby so red is her color), and a wee bit of yellow into her newborn session. She is the fifth baby in the family but still loved so much just like the first baby was. Her older siblings were so well behaved and gentle with her. They were also such outstanding listeners and a pleasure to have in the studio.

Before every Boutique Newborn Session, I gather from my collection of props, backdrops, prop clothes, wraps and headbands together to plan the session. I've already consulted with the Mother on the style and colors she likes and has in the home. When the parents arrive we then go over everything I have pre-planned and together with their style ideas and mine combined, we create the flow of the session. With my background in studio art and photography... this is my happy place planning for each new baby and the session.

Another part of being a newborn photographer that makes it such a dream job for me, is the antique and prop hunting. The collection I have is from over 15 years of finding perfect pieces that a baby would look sweet in. There are many trips with my sister to Canton weekend and Tomball antique shops with my husband behind each piece.

Congratulations to the T family on your newest blessing! Thank you for having me as your newborn photographer.

Debby Ditta

All because two people fell in love.

Clara Rose is all curled up and womb-like in this wrap.
