There are sessions that feel extra special—and this was one of them. This wasn’t just a classic newborn session. It was a celebration of generations coming together to welcome a brand-new life.
This sweet baby girl was surrounded by so much love in my Shreveport studio. Her parents brought both sets of grandparents to the session—one set visiting all the way from Italy, and the other from India. It was beautiful to witness and even more meaningful to document. These were some of the first portraits they would ever have all together, and the emotion in the room was palpable.
We began with baby-led posing in soft, neutral tones—creamy whites, warm browns, and soft grays that let her delicate features shine. She wore a cozy bear romper and was swaddled in textured wraps from my curated wardrobe. As always, everything needed for baby was provided in-studio, so the family could simply relax and enjoy the moment.
We photographed baby girl solo first, then brought in the grandparents for generational portraits that feel timeless and emotional. Watching each grandparent hold her for the first time in front of my lens was incredibly moving. These are the kinds of images that become heirlooms—the ones their family will look back on for years to come.
What I love about extended family newborn sessions is the way they expand the story. It’s not just about a baby’s first days, but the people who waited, prayed, and traveled across the world to be part of her welcome.
If you’re expecting and hoping to include family in your session, don’t hesitate to ask. I love capturing multi-generational moments that reflect just how deeply loved your baby is.
