Malia - 7 days | Kansas City Newborn Photographer

A couple of weeks ago, I was very excited to get the email announcing that these guys finally had their baby! They named her Malia June (isn’t that beautiful?!?) I’ve had several boy newborns this year and so few girls and I was ready to try some new things! I Arrived at their house on a sunny afternoon, ready to spend some time with this little munchkin. I walked in and she was sleeping soundly so I’m thinking “sleepy baby = smooth shooting”. She must have read my mind because as soon as we moved her to the area we were shooting in, she woke up and she was NOT happy! After a little soothing and swaddling, she was ready for action…however the weather had different plans! Big dark clouds were heading right for us and I could see it getting darker by the minute.

**Seriously, what is the deal with the weather lately? I have had the worst luck with it!**

Soon it was just too dark to even shoot- and for someone that shoots with natural light only, this posed a problem. So we waited it out for a bit, Malia had a snack and then it finally lightened up just enough to start shooting again. She was still a tad crabby so we did more of a lifestyle session instead of the solo-naked-baby session. I really enjoy doing these kinds of sessions and will be incorporating more of these shots into my newborn sessions. I love how mom and dad get to cuddle with her and you can just see that new parent glow :) Plus she was just so much happier being held!

Happy baby = happy mom and dad. And really, that’s the most important thing, right?

Thanks Jamie and Eric! I hope for our next session we will have better weather, maybe we'll get to go outside then :) See you soon!!
