And then there were THREE! | San Diego Triplet Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

Meet newborn babies Brian, David and Nicholas – San Diego’s newest set of adorable triplets!  I am so excited to share their session with you all.

When mom inquired about a session for her three almost-7 week old newborns, I was super excited but knowing that they were already several weeks old, we needed to schedule a session sooner rather than later.  So we did, and planned for just a few days later.  Brian, David and Nicholas were in the NICU for their first five weeks of life.  I responded to mom’s email and excitedly envisioned three tiny babies with matching hats and matching blankets, and my awesome visions danced around in my head – I was full of ideas, until I realized I didn’t have any matching boy hats, and there was no way that I would be able to find some ready to ship on Etsy, so I was in a panic – where would I find them in just 3 days!  Well, luckily I have the most awesome of mail ladies right here in town – she’s the one who ships out all of my client orders, and she knits!  I ran down to the mail place and asked if she would be able to make a few, and she happily agreed!  So not only were they made in two days time, but she made two beautiful sets of them with matching blankets and they were SO much cooler than I envisioned – wohoo!!  By the way, I didn’t just choose blue, red and green for fun – mom and dad have babies color coded in those colors to tell them apart those first few weeks :)

I brought my friend and fellow photographer, Melanie along for the fun – she is a rock star assistant!  No, I mean she rocks, she is not affiliated with any rock bands (that I  know of, lol).   When we arrived, we immediately went to work, getting ‘stations’ set up for the babies.  We set up the ‘prop’ area downstairs, and the ‘beanbag’ area upstairs, so that we would be able to photograph these cuties more efficiently – we knew that one would be sleeping when the others would not, and we needed to be ready for the chance of all three boys sleeping at the same time so we could get the ‘together’ shots.

Our session went great, and I am so pleased with what we captured.  These beautiful boys are going to grow up so quickly, so capturing their tiny cuteness at just a few weeks old makes me super happy :)  How awesome is it that Brian, David and Nicholas will grow up to be best buddies and will always have someone to play with!

Baby Bradley | San Diego Newborn Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

You might remember baby Bradley’s beautiful parents from their beach maternity photography session a few weeks ago – you can see it HERE.  Well, Bradley finally made his entrance into this world just a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to meet him at just a few days old.  It’s funny how mommies already know their babies at such a young age.  Mommy warned me that little guy was due for a poop because it had been a while.  Well, like clockwork, he did just that… all over my shirt and pants, lol!  I’m so used to poop and pee on blankets but little man will go down in the records as being the first to ummm… poop on his photographer, hehe.

We had a great morning, enjoying our little Bradley’s sweet poses and adorable expressions.  I had just gotten a couple of new props so I was excited to be able to use them on him for the first time.  What a sweet little dude.  Congratulations, G family – it was my pleasure to capture Bradley’s newborn sweetness!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from our newborn session:

The Newborn Session | San Diego Newborn Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

I love photographing newborn babies, I really do!  Each newborn session for me is so exciting, as I walk into the homes of brand new parents who are just beaming with love and excitement for their new little one, and are so excited for our newborn portrait session.  I always thought it would be great for expectant mommies searching for a newborn photographer to see what a typical session looks like.  I put this video together just for you, mom and dad to be!  I love photographing babies, and hope that this ‘behind the scenes’  peek at a typical newborn session will help give you an idea of what to expect for our session.

I work in the comfort of your own home, and our sessions last approximately 3 hours, and allow for a fun, casual and relaxed time, which allows for plenty of stress-free nursing/feeding, cuddling and prop/set changes. I love capturing a variety of sweet posed sleepy newborn shots as well as more candid interaction with mom, dad, a sibling – just capturing those precious moments. Newborns are photographed within the first 10 days of life, as they are still quite sleepy and bendy at that age for poses that mimic those inside the womb. So many moms and dads tell me how happy they are that I came to them, because in those first few days of having your newborn home, things are crazy hectic.  As you can see in the video, I don’t need a lot of space – just an area near a window.  I bring everything with me, and take special requests as to which props you want for me to bring along. I am constantly finding new props, blankets and hats for our sessions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about Sophie Crew Photography!

Enjoy the video!!
