Photos by Mill Creek Newborn Photographer June Bug Photography
This little man was pure joy to work with! He had just the sweetest little curl of hair on his forehead, and was so calm, sleepy, and ADORABLE! I have been playing around a bit with creating my own digital backdrops, and decided to use one of his images on a digital backdrop I created a few weeks ago. I love being able to get creative in studio, but not take away from sleepy baby time during the actual session. Such a fun way to surprise parents with an image they have no idea to expect!
I’ve been shooting a lot more on my darker backdrops, and using rich color too! I think that means fall is on the way!

I simply adore working with newborns, and every session is completely different. Babies come in all different shapes, sizes, temperaments, and families have different tastes in color, props, etc. I try to design every session around mom and dad’s preferences for colors, props, themes, etc, and I follow baby’s lead when it comes to posing. Some babies love being snuggled up and wrapped, some..not so much. Some babies fall into a deep sleep and let me pose them to perfection…some keep a watchful eye while I’m working. I just love getting to know these tiny babies and creating beautiful images that already show their little personalities!
June Bug Photography is based in Mill Creek, WA. Photographer Melissa Jenkins has a gorgeous studio stocked with outfits, props, backdrops, wraps, hats, and MORE. Seriously, you can show up with baby (and food for baby!) and I’ll take care of the rest! I recommend getting your newborn session on the books a few months prior to baby’s due date. I only take on a limited number of babies for each month, to ensure I am able to fit everyone in when baby arrives. I pencil in baby’s due date, and then have clients message me as soon as baby arrives to schedule the actual session date/time.
