Princess & the Pea Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

Baby Chloe was born October 9th at 18.5 inches long and weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces.

Her mom, Christelle, was another one of my moms from the Village Class. Coincidentally, all the babies from that group that came to see me were girls! Christelle fell in love with this pink bonnet and said it reminded her of Little Bo Peep. I can see it!

Welcoming a new baby to the family is always an exciting time and you can tell Christelle, Troy, and Amber adore little Miss Chloe already!

I love the happy grin and spit bubbles in this shot not to mention Christelle’s gorgeous brown eyes.

Snoozing away on Daddy’s shoulder.

Beautiful girls looking pretty in pink.

Christelle likes bright, cheery colors so we played around with different blankets and props in pinks and purple.

It’s also nice to do some simple shots with a more muted palette. Chloe ended up giving us some incredible expressions in this set. She even seems to be giggling at her own private joke in one of the photos. Such a little doll!

This last shot has now become one of my most requested set-ups and it’s easy to see why. Christelle wanted a Princess and the Pea photo so I got to work making her wish come true. I love how this turned out – so whimsical and magical. If you have an idea for something special you’d like during your session, chances are good that I can make it happen so be sure to ask!

I had so much fun capturing your great personality, Chloe; you’re an absolute princess! And I can’t wait to see you grow.

Pennington Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

To celebrate her first birthday, Kelsie came to the studio for a smash cake session. These are a lot of fun as the reactions range from confusion to absolute excitement. This delicious treat came from Cake, Love,Crossbones; my go-to vendor for anything involving baked goodies. Don’t you just want to dig right in?!

Kelsie’s blue eyes and brown hair are the perfect match for bright, jewel tones and I thought this girly floral print made a beautiful backdrop for this little one-year-old and her mom.

Time for cake!

Kelsie was quite the little lady; opting to paint the floor with frosting rather than get it all over herself.

I love the chubby little hands and feet covered in frosting!

Toward the end of the session, she got a little grumpy so I had to capture some pouty faces.

Consider this cake smashed.

If you can’t get enough of this sweet little face, be sure to take a peek at Kelsie’s Newborn and Grow With Me sessions. The first year of life passes by so quickly (except for those sleepless nights) that it’s easy to forget your baby being so little. I love this comparison shot of Kelsie from her newborn shoot and her Smash Cake session. It’s the same stool but it seems so much smaller a year later!

It’s been such a treat to capture all your milestones over this past year. Happy 1st Birthday, Kelsie!

Noah Brown Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

Meet Noah Alexander. Loads of hair, perfect squishy face and the cutest little toes ever. And look at that great grin he gave us – I’ve been told this photo is now hanging in his mom’s office. So sweet!

I had a chance to use one of my new studio props on this shoot. The British telephone booth chalkboard is great for adding a customized touch to your images. And since Noah has ties to both America and Britain, this was a fun way to represent the two countries while still keeping the focus on this cute little guy.

We kept the rest of the shoot fairly simple sticking with neutral colors. The Brown’s did bring a special, handmade blanket that was sentimental to them so we made sure to include that.

Mama Amy also asked we take a couple pictures of just her and Noah. She had done a similar pose with her other two boys as newborns and I loved that she had made this a special tradition.

These are the final few photos from Noah’s newborn shoot and I am ecstatic with how they turned out. I love how the wood and fiber textures contrast one another without being distracting. Such a beautiful little boy; congrats Brown family!

Jaxon Block Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

For Jaxon’s Smash Cake session, his mom’s only request was that I go nuts with the styling and pick whatever I think would look best. This little guy has the most infectious smile so I knew I wanted to keep that as the highlight of his session. As usual, Holland of Cake, Love, Crossbones pulled through with a beautiful and delicious smash cake.

Jaxon decided to see what that teal frosting was all about. I love the range of expressions from confusion to happy discovery.

This little guy is fast and had a great time running all over the place.

Jaxon, you are just way too cute!

The bunting proved to be more exciting than the cake by the end.

The final aftermath (temper tantrum included)!

Ivey Millmine Newborn and Family Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

Ivey was born on September 2nd coming in at 8 pounds, 2.5 ounces; and just eight days later, was posing for her very first photo shoot. As a nod to her name, we chose a soft green blanket as a back drop and kept the props simple. 

For being so young, Ivey was deliciously chunky with round cheeks and a perfectly pouty bottom lip.

No doubt she will be well looked after by big brother Ayden.

Ivey even gave us a little smile to match the proud grin on Ayden’s face.

What a beautiful little family. Congrats on the new addition and welcome to the world sweet Ivey!
