Capturing a young family grow is rewarding beyond measure. A few years back, I photographed the Gupta family for their daughter Mia’s cake smash. We had met through a client of mine and they wanted keepsake photos of her first birthday party. The event was wildly adorable and remains my #1 favorite. (More of cake smash goodness here.) Luckily, this new round of photos was just as sweet. 

From her cake smash, I remembered Mia as a lovely, photogenic one-year-old. Now, she was little girl! Most importantly, she recently became a big sister to newborn Tristan. It was high time to mark these milestones with some new family photos, including updated photos of Mia and newborn portraits of baby brother Tristan. 

To top it off, the Guptas had just finished reconstructing their new home, which would be the gorgeous backdrop for the newborn photography session. The interior was mostly white, so we kept the colors neutral for a classic result. We shot in stunning new spaces, such as their living room, play room and entryway. A win-win for timeless family photos. 

We scheduled the newborn photography session around nap time, but with kids sometimes things don’t go according to plan. When I arrived, Mia was more interested in her coloring books and toys. Both photographers and clients must be flexible when working with toddlers. It’s better to wait for them to come around, than to force the session.

And what a beautiful session it turned out to be! The new home framed the Gupta family in great light. Mia looked cute in a navy-striped summer dress and Tristan was a loveable newborn in soft grays. My favorite shot had Tristan in his bassinet and big sister Mia welcoming him home. We set the shot by their front door to capture this unforgettable moment. These two cuties made the photo session twice as nice. austin newborn photography in home
