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!
