When Andrew’s mom contacted me a couple of weeks ago wanting to schedule a photo session for her son’s 3-month portraits, she asked if babies should only be photographed indoors with a backdrop or if it was okay for us to take the pictures outdoors. I love the fact that Andrew’s mom was able to think outside the box. As moms, we are bombarded with fliers from the photo-chains showing babies on backdrops. It is so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that posed studio-type shots are the only way to take baby portraits. I feel like custom children’s portraits are much more natural outdoors. Baby Andrew agreed with us–he was incredibly relaxed throughout the session and impressed us with his incredible smiles and personality.
