Loveland, Colorado Newborn Photos

I loved these Loveland, Colorado newborn photos for two main reasons.

One — I get to hang out with a baby. There is absolutely nothing like a baby. The smells, the muffled noises, the cries, the soft skin, the size. Things like lanugo, meconium, worrying about the exact ounces of food intake, the umbilical cord tie — this is the stuff that is buried in the way back of my mind, hazy.

I remember when my first was a baby, I would go to sleep when he did. Since he was born one day before the summer solstice, my bedtime was often 7 or 8 p.m., but it felt like the middle of the day with all the summer sun. So spending time with a newborn but leaving behind that wonky, demanding sleep schedule — such a thrill.

Two — I get to take indoor family photos. I love indoor family photo sessions. (Check out this Longmont home family photo session or this Niwot Colorado home family photography session.) And home sessions are ideal for newborn photos — no concerns about transportation, germs, location, or disrupting sleep.

If you’re expecting a baby in Loveland or the surrounding area, I’d love to document those first days. Inquire about a session

More Thoughts on Newborn Photography

My favorite images focus on connection and document this little fellow as he is right now — a tiny newborn peanut.

I love the images with his body hair (that lanugo I mentioned earlier) and scaling skin — I see them as details that add to his fleeting time as a newborn. I love the photos with mom and dad’s hands on him, or the photos of him resting in arms or on chests. We all know how quickly babies and kids grow, so images showing how tiny this fellow once was will become more important as time passes. (I almost gasped this morning when I realized my first grader is fast approaching my shoulder height!)

I also love the photos that capture the variety of facial expressions this baby is making — from a smile to a pensive look to tears in one second. I remember my sons going through the same rapid facial expressions and it makes me giggle.

What to Expect from a Loveland Newborn Session

I come to you — no packing up a newborn and driving somewhere. Sessions happen in your home, at your pace, with plenty of time built in for feeding, soothing, and settling. I’ll photograph the two of you together, the details — those tiny hands, that perfect nose — and any siblings or pets who want to be part of it.

Sessions typically run 90 minutes or more. I recommend reaching out before your due date so your spot is reserved and we can spend that time planning rather than scrambling.
