Cardinal’s Baseball Newborn Boy Session – Footsteps Photography, Newborn Photographer near RAF Mildenhall
Introducing Mason Mertz. This little love bug was born November 15, 2013, at 7 pounds 13 ounces and 19.4 inches long.

I think he looks like his Daddy and I love how he’s holding his hand up as if to say, “Hello! I’m here!”


This beautiful bench was made by his daddy from different pieces he picked up at an antique store.

Mason looks so cute in all these different settings; I’m not sure I can pick a favorite!




As you might have guessed, Dad is a big Cardinals fan. Maybe Mason will grow up to be a famous baseball player!


With his November birthday, we were able to get a couple shots just in time for Christmas cards. This may just be the cutest snow bunny ever!



I don’t normally show the outtakes from newborn shoots but this one was too good to pass up. Mason decided to relieve himself, as babies are apt to do, all over mama’s lap. Luckily, we were prepared as this is a common occurrence at newborn sessions. I love that his parents just laughed it off and went with the “flow.” Mason Mertz, making his mark on the world since 2013!

Zoey Jane Bump and Bundle Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Lakenheath & Mildenhall
WOW, its been a busy October with lots of cute little babies born, family sessions and Christmas mini sessions taken place that I did not get to blog much during the month. Take a look at this session from this summer I realized that was never blogged, so take a look at adorable Zoey Jane and her mommy and daddy before she was born. Anytime one of my babies move back to the states I always miss seeing them at their grow with me and smash cake sessions. It amazing much they grow and change in that first year.

Maternity and Newborn Session Pretty in Purple- Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
Wanting to provide the best and most unique experience for my clients, I’m always working on new props and accessories. I designed and sewed these versatile maternity gowns and was anxious to see how they’d look on camera. When I put out a call for a maternity model, Joanne answered at 38 weeks pregnant! We met on the last warm day of the year and the sunset was absolutely stunning, just like this beautiful mama.



I love that the gown can be worn open or closed, depending on your preference. Additional dresses are not far from finished production and will be available for maternity shoots with Footsteps Photography. I’ll be adding lots of fun colors as well. Isn’t Joanne a natural?!



The purple flower headband made an appearance on both mama and baby – it’s the little details that really make these photos so special.
Shortly after her maternity session, Joanne came back to see me with her husband, Andy and their new baby girl, Sophia! Joanne had been referred to me by her fellow moms from the Village Class. I do offer referral incentives so be sure to share Footsteps Photography with all your family and friends to receive a discount on your next session!

After seeing how photogenic her mom was, it came as no surprise that Sophia was a natural in front of the camera as well. She even stuck out her tongue for us!





This little lace headband and the name banner were purchased on Etsy. Joanne brought all sorts of beautiful props and I especially loved that the banner had been used at Sophia’s baby shower.


The cream color is a dream to work with and photographs so beautifully with the softness and perfection of babies natural skin tone. Its a favorite of mine to use during sessions.


For the last few shots of the session, we used the always popular cherry blossom background. The vintage pram is a studio prop and we personalized it by this handmade baby blanket Joanne used as a child.



Thank you, Joanne and Andy, for allowing me to capture these stunning images of your sweet family!

Avery McVay Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
Little Miss Avery is another one of my Village Class babies. Jamie, her mom, loves jewel tones and rich colors so get ready for some beautifully saturated images. (To see the rest of the Village Class group, take a peek at the blog posts for the ladies all in the Village Friends class:Zoe, Sophia, Addy & Chloe)



I can never decided what I like more – adding the adorable props or the pure sweetness of a sleeping baby with a bare bum.


Avery is about as yummy and squishy as they come. I love the little roll on her forearm.



There are so many prop options available in the studio when you book a session with Footsteps Photography. I adore this festive set up for a fall theme that we discussed during the pre-session consultation.


I always encourage my clients to bring items that are meaningful to them as well. The McVay’s are Steelers fans so this Terrible Towel shot was a must as well as some great girly shots of Avery in her fluffy tutu.



For the last shot of her session, Avery flashed us this amazing smile. What a doll! I had so much fun and can’t wait to see her again.

Military Styled Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
Chelsey and Jared are the lucky parents of this gorgeous little girl; Miss Addelyn Williams, or Addy for short.


Chelsey brought a suitcase full of props to the session. With a mama this beautiful and stylish, Addy is in good hands!


Jared is a pilot and an avid hunter (which you’ll see in a bit). I think it’s safe to say this little girl already has Daddy wrapped around her little finger!


Addy was so alert and interested in all the things going on around her. 

Chelsey loves the rustic, shabby chic look so we incorporated a lot of lace and dusty pink in this shoot along with some gorgeous detailed headbands.


The Williams’ are incredibly proud of their country and heritage so we had to capture some shots of Addy in her daddy’s uniforms.



I mentioned that Jared is an avid hunter and Chelsey had brought a suitcase full of props. Little did I know, they had also brought along their beautiful black lab for an outdoor themed photo! I’d never before styled a newborn with decoys and a duck call and thought this was such a fun and personalized idea. I really do have the most fun clients!

The Williams’ squeezed in this shoot just a week after Addy was born and days before they left back to the states for Jared’s job. And yes, the beautiful lab came with them! Thank you for a great time, Williams family, and safe travels!
