au natural

Usually when it comes to newborn portraits, au natural implies a naked baby. We didn’t take any bootie shots for this session. Instead, today’s au natural was for those very real and candid moments at home, plus a few staged images in a very natural environment. An example? I arrived a bit early, so while mama was changing Sweet S. in the main room, I caught the two in focus through an arched wall. As for the outdoor images, Sylvia was sweeter than a pea pod out in her garden. While we couldn’t get this energetic newborn to drift asleep, I was able to catch her resting her eyes just long enough for the image above. Isn’t she just so precious!?
