Baby's First Year and Beyond

A Symphony of Love and Lavender: Welcoming Baby Girl from Harrison, NY

Newborn

I am delighted to share another session with the Livingston family, of Harrison, New York, who recently graced my studio in Greenwich, Connecticut, to celebrate the newest addition to their family – a precious baby girl draped in shades of lavender and blush, cerulean, and dreamy purply-blue.

Before we embark on this heartwarming journey of love and new beginnings, let’s revisit the cherished moments we created during big sister Blake’s newborn session, and the Livingston family’s 2022 beach session.

Now, let’s dive into the magic of the Livingston’s family newborn session.

A newborn baby girl sleeps peacefully, her arms and hands folded underneath her as she lies on a plush, oversized knit blanket in pale purple. The baby wears a faux floral stretchy headband.

The Livingstons brought their unique vision to the session, and we enveloped baby girl in a palette of lavender and blush, with cerulean, and purply blue. These tones set the stage for a session infused with tenderness, warmth, and an air of dreaminess.

Creating a harmonious composition, big sister Blake and mom wore pristine white, while dad chose a dashing charcoal gray. This carefully curated wardrobe selection not only complemented the chosen color palette but also added a touch of timelessness to the family’s portraits together.

As we moved through baby girl’s newborn session, my Cos Cob studio became a haven for love, laughter, and the celebration of family bonds. Every soft coo, gentle cradle, and loving gaze captured during the session spoke volumes about the Livingston legacy – love passing down.

The Livingston family’s journey with Looking Up Photography has been a tapestry woven with the threads of joy, love, and the beauty of nature. Our beach session, set against the backdrop of nature’s wonders, stands as a testament to the family’s appreciation for the simple joys and the profound beauty found in each moment.

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Cos Cob, Greenwich, my studio became the canvas for creating timeless memories for the Livingstons. The soft, natural light of the studio complemented the hues chosen for baby girl’s session, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for the family to bask in the glow of their newest addition.

As we concluded this enchanting newborn session, the Livingstons left the studio with hearts full of love and a gallery of images capturing the essence of their growing family. The journey continues for the Livingstons, and I feel honored to have been a part of this beautiful chapter in their lives.
