Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | In-home Infant Photography



I photographed this amazing little guy in his home today and it was such a wonderful session. He is so tiny and beautiful and was such a good little sleeper! I also got some wonderful shots of him awake and with members of his family, but these are some of my favorites.

Colorado Springs Newborn Photography | Photo of the Day for Saturday, March 14, 2009


This one is from two days ago. Gotta love that smile! Luckily for both me and her parents, this little girl did the best job of staying asleep of any newborn I've ever photographed. And she kept flashing us these adorable smiles while she slept. As with nearly all the newborn babies I've photographed lately, she was born early, and was photographed before her due date. Maybe we need to start cutting a couple weeks off the due dates of all these Colorado babies.

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Tuesday, March 10, 2009

I sure seem to be photographing a lot of newborn babies before their actual due dates lately. This little sweetie was born over five weeks early I believe, and I photographed her yesterday at nearly five weeks old, four days shy of her actual due date. She's still not even seven pounds yet, and is so amazing. Just so tiny and sweet. Her parents are big fans of monkeys and giraffes, so she was photographed here with a bunch of the stuffed animals from her room. I love when people bring in their own props for newborn images, because I never know what cool new image I'll have the opportunity to create.

Here's a beautiful little newborn baby girl I photographed at my studio yesterday, when she was just 7 days old!

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Saturday, February 21, 2009




I think I took this one about a year-and-a-half ago. Look at that sweet, sweet face! As with many of my newborn photos, the parents brought in the props. I like how the basket helps provide scale to help show just how small she was.

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Thursday, February 19, 2009

I know this image has been on the front screen of my website for a while, but I wanted to feature it as my photo of the day so I could talk about it. This is an example of an image that was created at the child's home rather than at my studio. When I photograph at a client's home, I spend a lot of time walking around looking for the best lighting and interesting props. I found this bookshelf in the big sister's room. We unloaded all the books and dragged it into another room where the light was better. Then I hunted all around for cute items that I could use that would all go together. The mom found the blocks so we could spell out the baby's name. I love the balance of all the soft colors. I created the image by window light. The baby is on the bottom shelf for safety. I've noticed that many people don't even see the baby when they glance at the image!

Newborn Photography Colorado Springs | Photo of the Day for Friday, February 13, 2009

This sweet nine-day-old baby girl was in my studio earlier this week. She was born a little early, so I took this photo ten days before her due date!

Colorado Springs Maternity Photographer: Photo of the Day for Thursday, February 12, 2009

I think this is one of the more unique and interesting shots I've done over the years. I call it "Just Hatched." Since entering it in print competition with the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) I've seen it duplicated by other photographers, and have even been told that it was going to be featured on the Photovision DVD's. I didn't ever post this image online before entering it in competition because I didn't want anyone else to beat me to the punch with the idea. The parents had told me that they were going to be bringing in the mom's belly cast from her pregnancy, and I spent some time looking for ideas online, but came up short on good ideas. The dad, I believe, had the idea of nailing the belly cast to the table, so that's what we did -- put down the black cloth, put the belly cast on top of that, and then nailed it down so that it would stay upright. I lit it from the side and from the back to give it more dimension and to preserve the texture of the belly cast. Straight-on lighting would have washed out all the texture. It's sort of a maternity and newborn shot all in one!

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer: Photo of the Day for Sunday, February 8, 2009

Another amazing little newborn! Under 3 weeks is best for these sessions because they stay asleep better and are easier to position. A shot like this looks like it's a piece of cake, but it can take hours of waiting for the baby to fall asleep in this position. Well worth the wait, though, to capture such perfection.

Mary Lynne's Photo of the Day for Wednesday, February 4, 2009

I had the honor of photographing this sweet little beauty two days ago. She was just 5 lbs., 10 oz. at birth, and was at about 6 lbs., 2 oz. when I took this shot. I like to photograph newborns before they are 3 weeks old to get that true newborn look. This little one was 19 days old, but since she was a little early I photographed her on her due date!

Photo of the Day for Thursday, January 22, 2009


I'm excited to start sharing my photo of the day here on my blog, and through tweets on Twitter. I will challenge myself to keep up with this new feature! Some will be from a recent session, and some will be favorites culled from my collection of images that I've created over the years. If you're a Twitter person and would like to start following me there, my username is MaryLynneA. If you landed at this blog post because you're already following me on Twitter, I'm a Colorado Springs professional photographer specializing in babies, children and maternity. I've been creating portraits for families here in the Springs since 2001.

Today's image is of the first baby I photographed in the new year. What a gorgeous gift. She is an absolute doll, and looks so much like her big sister it is just amazing. Her mom had the cute pink bow made for her that morning, and was sweet to give me the bow after the session to use for future images.

Recent Newborns

Newborns are still my favorite! Getting a great photo of a newborn baby takes a long time, but is so worth it. Here are several of the beauties I've had the opportunity to photograph in the past few weeks. These are all different babies photographed on different days, but isn't it interesting how similar they all look?

Contact me at MaryLynne@aol.com if you are interested in having a private newborn session. My studio space is available for a limited time (that is until I sell or rent my building!), and I can also do in-home newborn sessions.
