Calgary and Airdrie Newborn Baby Photoshoot - Russel - Newborn Photographer

I love when I get a call from a family member or a friend who wants to purchase a gift certificate for a newborn session. What could be a better gift than a gift of memories? These precious moments of the first few weeks are gone too fast, so capturing how truly little your new baby used to be once is one of the best gifts you can receive or give to yourself. Baby Russel’s family has received such a gift from their friends and I was so happy and excited to meet this beautiful family.

Russel’s newborn baby photoshoot happened at his family’s residence in Airdrie, Alberta as I am on location, mobile photographer and come to my clients’ home with all the required props, outfits and equipment. It was super convenient for this family as they already had two older children, so after I was done with siblings and family photos, Russel’s sisters and parents were able to go about their day while I continued my session with Russel.

Russel was so good to me, slept for most of the time and didn’t mind changing props or outfits. He is so loved by his older sisters and parents and I was amazed how well behaved and gentle the girls were with their little baby brother. It was an honour to meet this beautiful family, so full of love! Welcome to the world, sweet Russel!

Newborn Baby Photoshoot - Georgia - Calgary and Airdrie baby photographer by Mila Boekestyn

It was a huge surprise, when baby Georgia’s aunt has reached out to me to buy a gift certificate for her niece-to-be as I used to work with Georgia’s mommy - Victoria awhile back and since then have lost touch, and therefore had no idea that Victoria had a baby on the way. It was super exciting to reconnect and catch up with my friend, while taking photos of her newborn baby girl - Georgia!

As you may know, I am on - location, mobile photographer, which means that I travel to my clients’ residence and bring with me all required props and equipment for a successful / posed newborn photoshoot. New moms really appreciate this kind of service for it’s convenience - as newborn photoshoot sometime takes 4-5 hours - depending on the baby and if there are any young siblings participating in the photoshoot. This is a perfect time for new mommies to catch up on much needed rest and do some errands while I take photos of their new addition in the comfort of their own home.

Baby Georgia was super sweet, she gave me a smile after smile and I am so glad that my friend Victoria now has these precious images of her brand new baby to cherish forever. Welcome to the world, beautiful Georgia!

Baby boy photoshoot - West - Calgary and Airdrie Newborn Mobile Photographer by Mila Boekestyn

Baby boy photoshoot - West - Calgary and Airdrie Newborn Mobile Photographer

Oh baby West - a true cowboy in a making! There won’t be any shortage of horses, cows or other farm animals in West’s life - both of his parents are veterinarians specializing in cow/calf health as well as equine practice, including breeding horses. West’s mommy loves to ride both English and Western and both parents love to play Polo. Naturally we HAD to incorporate some of the items from West’s parents’ life, so don’t be surprised if you see baby West posed in a Polo boot :-)

Welcome to the world, sweet little baby West!

Calgary Baby Girl Photoshoot - Mira - Calgary and Airdrie on-location, mobile photographer

This baby girl is SO LOVED! Since I am on-location, mobile photographer, I have travelled to Chestermere to meet all 4 grandparents, 2 aunts, parents, older sister and a puppy - they all have joined Mira’s newborn session. Everyone wanted to be a part of this exciting event. Mira was born almost a month earlier than expected and she was just so tiny and precious - a real girly girl, who was so good to me - slept almost the entire time, didn’t mind all the different setups and gave me a smile after smile. Her older sister loved being a part of this shoot as well, she cooperated amazingly and the whole family was just so so sweet!

Welcome to the world, sweet little baby Mira!

I haven’t done a maternity session in awhile, especially the indoor one, so I was very excited for this specific photoshoot. Since last maternity session, I had accumulated many new gowns, and I couldn’t wait for this beautiful mom-to-be to try them on. Deep was a perfect model, all the dresses looked gorgeous on her! Deep and her hubby are expecting their first baby this Fall, and I was so happy to be able to capture these timeless moments of a sweet anticipation of a precious arrival!

Calgary baby boy photoshoot - Henry - Calgary Mobile Newborn Photographer by Mila Boekestyn

Calgary baby boy photoshoot - Henry - Calgary Mobile Newborn Photographer

This was a very special photoshoot for me as I have photographed both of Henry’s siblings when they were just born, and on top of that - we used the same little prop (the little guitar) with all of the 3 siblings (as their daddy is a musician). If you’d like to check out Henry’s siblings newborn sessions, you can find Felix’ session here and Olive’s session here.

As I am on-location, mobile newborn photographer, I have arrived to Henry’s house and since I have been to this place many, many times, I knew exactly where i wanted to set up my portable studio. I remembered that this family has a nice brick wall and decided to use this instead of my own backdrop for all siblings and family setups. I think it turned out pretty good.

Henry was so good to me, slept almost the entire time and even when he wasn’t sleeping - he was just looking right at me, which is very unusual for newborns - I felt like i have met an old soul. I was also super impressed with Felix and Olive as they were amazing with Henry, super loving and cooperative.

Welcome to the world, sweet little Henry!

Calgary Baby Boy Photoshoot - Cooper - Calgary and Airdrie on-location, mobile Newborn Photographer by Mila Boekestyn

Calgary Baby Boy Photoshoot - Calgary and Airdrie on-location, mobile Newborn Photographer

My friend contacted me to say that she would like to purchase a gift certificate for a newborn session for one of her colleague's at work, who was expecting her second baby. I was very excited - I believe that the gift of memories is the best, most precious gift that you can give to another person, especially if it is to capture such an important event - arrival of a new family member. Babies, especially newborn babies change so fast, that if you don’t capture these precious moments in the first few weeks, you might just miss it.

I have met Cooper and his big brother Parker at their house, as I am on-location, mobile photographer. I was very impressed how well Parker was cooperating - he was so gentle and loving with his baby brother. And baby Cooper was just so yummy - all the “boy” colours looked so good on him!

Welcome to the world baby Cooper!

Sweet baby Raeleigh, you are so loved and so wanted! Your cousins Liam, Paige and Quinn can’t wait for you to grow up so that they can play with you! I have photographed all 3 Raeleigh’s cousins when they were born, you can check out Liam’s session here and twin girls’ Paige and Quinn session here. And now it was your turn, sweet baby girl. You were so good to me, sleeping for most of the session, changing into different outfits and traveling from one prop to another. Both set of your grandparents were there to take some first few pictures with you and even your auntie and your furry brother joined in for a few pictures. Welcome to the world, beautiful soul!

Newborn Baby Boy Photoshoot - Calgary and Airdrie Mobile, On location photographer

As you all know, I am on location / mobile photographer - which means that I will bring all the cute props, outfits and everything else needed for a successful session to your place. It is super convenient for new parents, especially those that have another busy baby or toddler already.

I have met baby Adam and his family at their residence, downtown Calgary and we took all these beautiful photos at the comfort of their home. Adam’s sister Layla was a little bit shy in the beginning, but it didn’t take long for her to warm up to me and we giggled and laughed and had an amazing time. Layla was super gentle with her baby brother Adam and Adam didn’t want to sleep through his whole session, so he made sure to pose with his beautiful big eyes staring right into the camera for some of the shots.

Welcome to the world, sweet little Adam!

Calgary First Birthday Cakesmash Photoshoot - Lily - Mobile Calgary and Airdrie Photographer by Mila Boekestyn

Calgary First Birthday Cakesmash Photoshoot - Mobile Calgary and Airdrie Photographer.

And just like that - it has been a year and sweet little Lily who’s newborn session I have photographed seems like yesterday, is turning 1 years old! You can check out her newborn session here.

All my first birthday cakesmash photoshoots include a few photos of the birthday boy/girl by him/herself with different props followed by a cakesmash and then a bubble bath or a milk bath.

For the milk bath - Lily’s mommy picked up a few fresh lilies - because Lily has to have some Lilies for her first birthday! Sweet little Lily absolutely LOVED her first birthday cake - she definitely did not hesitate to smash it and eat some and even left some pieces intact for her parents :-). Lily has also enjoyed her milk bath with Lilies and after all this excitement, she was definitely done and ready for her nap :-)

Happy 1st Birthday sweet little Lily!
