Oh Christmas time is just the most wonderful time and it is even more wonderful if a baby is born!  My sweet friend had her adorable baby right before Christmas.  They came into my newborn photography studio in Carthage, MO after the new year for some sweet baby girl pictures

All the sweet little details captured during a newborn picture session in Carthage, Joplin, Missouri

Nothing is sweeter than a precious baby! This newborn boy was in the studio when he was almost one month old for his newborn pictures! It is never too late for newborn pictures!

Mom wanted a natural color palette and something sweet and timeless. The wonderful thing about Celesta Champagne Photography is that everything is provided. Just tell Celesta your color and style and she will curate outfits, props to coordinate with the colors of your home.

Some may ask… is a one month old too old for newborn pictures? I say … never! This newborn boy was born before Christmas but came into the studio after Christmas for his newborn photographs. And oh my did we get the cute faces and cutest smiles! We may wrap up the baby more but babies love to be swaddled so he was just so happy. Plus, his family is just so gorgeous! The family pictures are to be cherished a loved forever!

What will these memories be worth to you in 5 years? 10 years? 20?

In 10 or 20 years, where is your iPad, iPhone, CD going to be? With that cord work to charge it? With the constant changes in technology, will your pictures on a CD even look good or be able to be printed? Might not be viewable at all! Think of an album as a time traveller. Open it up, smell the pages, jump to another time without plugging something in… without any effort at all.

Christmas ideas coming your way! I know it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet, and I normally don’t talk Christmas until after Thanksgiving BUT shipping is crazy right now!  And I’m afraid that shipping delays will make getting gifts in time sketchy!  Mark off that list EARLY and sit back and relax with a cup of hot […]

smooth & successful family photography sessions It’s normal to be a little anxious about your family photography session. You’re a busy family with quite a few things on your plate.  Your child is in a new place and a stranger is holding a big camera in front of their face. They’re likely not going to […]

Oh the time waiting for baby to come is a beautiful time. As you are growing a tiny human, you are feeling more and more tired and sometimes just ready for baby to come! But this maternity time is a special time to be cherished and honored. Even though you are tired, here at Celesta […]

I have a shirt that says “GIVE ME ALL THE BABIES” And I would add especially ALL THE TWINS! Twins are a different kind of session. You have to get both babies asleep at the same time! And that is a great feat than you think. Momma requested coral and navy blue outfits to make […]

I just love when parents choose the milestone package for their newborn. It is my greatest honor to see these sweet newborns grow-up when they come back in for their sitter photography session and then their first year session. I look forward to our time together. You might wonder why I call these sessions Sitter […]
