In the heart of Roseville lies Acorn Park, a picturesque haven that witnessed an unconventional choice for a newborn photoshoot. Little did we know, this scenic locale doubled as a frisbee golf course, adding an unexpected twist to an otherwise serene setting. Join me as I recount the challenges and triumphs of an outdoor newborn session that ventured beyond the traditional.
Roseville Newborn Photo Session
Acorn Park, with its natural beauty, served as the canvas for our unique photoshoot. Amidst the unexpected frisbee golf course, we navigated to a small wooded area that provided a safe haven for capturing those cherished moments. The flying discs added an adventurous touch to the session, making it a memorable experience for both the family and me.
Our sweet newborn, though not inclined to sleep much during the session, radiated a unique energy. Each moment spent capturing her expressions was a testament to the joy and individuality she brought to the photoshoot. Despite the unconventional setting, her presence added a touch of innocence and warmth to every frame.
As the photographer, I faced a bit of a challenge in orchestrating a session amidst a frisbee golf course. The unexpected flying discs prompted us to seek refuge in a small wooded area, where we managed to capture the essence of the family's love. In addition to the outdoor shots at the park when we returned to their home nearby we took some extra photos of the baby in a cozy moses basket in the front lawn.
Styling Choices made Simple by the use of the mQn Photography Studio Wardrobe
Styling choices played a crucial role in enhancing the visual appeal of the session. The family's outfits, carefully selected from my studio wardrobe, added a timeless elegance to the photos. Mom, baby, and brother were adorned in outfits that harmonized effortlessly, while dad's choice complemented the overall aesthetic, creating a cohesive and visually pleasing ensemble.
Roseville Family's Thoughts on their Experience
Now, let's delve into the client's perspective. The mother, overwhelmed with relief and elation upon first meeting her baby, shared that her labor was fast and intense. She said she shared a look of sheer disbelief between her and her husband with the swift and intense arrival of their little one into the world.
The client expressed with me her appreciation for my calm demeanor throughout the session, highlighting my ability to capture natural moments amid the challenges of managing a toddler and a fussy baby. She emphasized her gratitude for my ability to capture gorgeous moments despite their lack of preparation in the midst of her chaotic crew. Her words not mine. It's always a pleasure meeting a family where they are at. As a mother myself and a mom of teens, trust me I've seen it all and I've been there myself at one point or another.
In retrospect, the choice of Acorn Park for an outdoor newborn session proved to be an adventurous yet heartwarming decision. Despite the challenges posed by the frisbee golf course, the resulting images encapsulate the love and joy shared by the family. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to this family for embracing the unexpected and allowing me to capture their unique story in a setting that transcended the ordinary.
