Spring and into summer is the perfect time for some outdoor newborn pictures in Plant City or around Tampa Bay!

I loved the colorful outdoor photos, especially with their neutral palette for the wardrobe, but there is something so timeless about black and white images. This session had more than it’s fair share of black and white newborn photos with mom’s dress in a toile fabric for sure. The dress and it’s pattern will always inspired me to create black and white versions. If you are expecting, this is a great time of year for outdoor newborn photos. The mornings work great for newborns, since they are usually happier in the morning, and it isn’t quite as hot or rainy here in Florida in the mornings, too. If you are expecting and want to do a laid back newborn photo session from the comfort of your home, I can usually find a little spot to create outdoor magic, too. 99% of the time anyway! Even if you think it wont’ look great, I can find where the light usually works best and at least give you a few options for family photos that will continue to blend together with future family photos in our gorgeous backdrops around Tampa Bay.

I loved meeting this family and their newest addition about five weeks after he was born. We had a great time documenting him as well as their pups in their relaxed in home newborn pictures in Tampa Bay. This session proves that “newborn” photos don’t have to be taken when the baby is less than two weeks old. If you want a more relaxed newborn photo experience, we can do it in the comfort of your home at any time you are ready.

When should newborn photos be taken? Well, that really depends on what you want from your baby photos. As a longtime newborn photographer in Tampa, I have done newborn pictures at a few days old and a month after baby is born. Each will have different experiences and your photographer should help get to know you before you book to make sure your vision meets their photographic style, too!

Is a film photo session right for your family photos? Only you can answer that, but here are a few reasons why film may be right for you and a few photo samples of how film and digital photos can work together in a hybrid newborn photo session or your next Tampa family photo session with Hamilton Creek Photography.
