The Dill Family - Mommy & Me Portraits by a New Orleans Photographer

intro

Today, I am bursting with excitement to share the enchanting session of the Dill girls—a sublime mommy and me portrait session held within the walls of the Main House. Join me as we embark on a journey through the details of this magical day, adorned with laughter, tenderness, and the undeniable magic that surfaces during mommy and me sessions!

The Session

Picture this: The Main House adorned with timeless charm, and in walks the Dill family, a vision of sheer elegance and grace. The radiant mommy, draped in ivory, cradles her newborn daughter, wrapped in the softest cream colored ensemble. Completing this picturesque scene is the playful toddler, a whirlwind of sweetness, dressed in a similar ensemble. Together, they paint a portrait of motherhood and sisterhood, capturing the very essence of love and connection.

The chosen hues of ivory and rose added an extra layer of timeless charm to the session, creating a color palette that harmoniously complemented the warmth and love within the family. Against the classic backdrop of the Main House, each frame became a canvas, immortalizing the love shared by the Dill girls. Mom was so generous to donate her stunning and elegant dress to our client closet - any Mama who comes for portraits with SFP will now have the joy of wearing this beautiful dress!

Effortless Moments, Even with a Hungry Newborn

Now, let's delve into the real-life magic that unfolded during the session. Ah, the unpredictability of newborns and their legendary appetites! Many moms are worried about their babies crying or getting hungry during a session, (Yes, this really does happen!) and the Dill session was no different. To ensure that we get the most out of our time together, every mama is provided with a booklet on the entire experience of their newborn portrait session - it includes how to prepare for this very moment that every mama fears - an inconsolable baby. Mom, I understand that you're concerned you won't get good photos of baby if they are crying - and as a mom myself, I totally feel you!

If you're a mama who has these concerns, (don't we all at some point) I want to reassure you. SFP will ensure that we get adorable photos of your baby - even if they are crying. We will take the time to pause our session, feed baby a snack if they need it, give them time to calm down. You will receive a preparation guide before your session that will explain lots of tips on how to keep baby content before and during their session! If you're interested in reading a few of those tips now, here is a blog post that will help you out.

As the newborn expressed her hunger cues, the session seamlessly transitioned into feeding time, and SFP captured beautiful portraits of older sister while mama fed baby.

MOMMY AND ME: SPECIAL MOMENTS TO TREASURE
