Katy Newborn Family Photographer- MJ’s Photography

MJ’s Photography is a Katy newborn family photographer in the Fulshear and Katy area.

Isn’t he handsome? His perfect little newborn lips are puckered in the cutest way. I adore him on the hunter green backdrop by Hello Little! It looks so great with his olive skin tone.

Big brother was the cutest! He was so in love with his brother and you could tell. Mommy is so lucky to have two beautiful babies!

I love photographing newborns with their siblings. In Katy, I have an in home studio where I make you feel at ease. You can relax and watch your babies newborn session from a comfortable couch. There is coffee, wifi, and snacks for you to enjoy during your photography session. You also get hair and makeup for your family portrait. That way you can just wake up and head over.

Momma loved the digital composites in my newborn session consultation. I made sure to include a couple of them for her to choose from. This one with this sweet baby boy sleeping in a wreath is my favorite! Digital art is such an amazing way to display your baby’s newborn portraits on your wall.

Here is another favorite of moms. He looks so peaceful in this composite. This one is going to look amazing displayed in their home. This is a newborn picture that her visitors are going to oooh and ahhh at! Which is your favorite?

Including a little pillow in a newborn pose, in Fulshear Texas, has got to be my favorite. Look how sweet he looks cuddled up with it. His little newborn toes just make me smile.

I love when moms decide to be included in the session. How often are we the one’s left taking all of the pictures of our babies and we are not in them? It’s so important to get in the portraits! Our babies are going to want to see pictures of them little with their mommy!

I know looking back at my newborn baby pictures, there are not many with my mom. I would give anything to be able to see one of her with me as a newborn. It’s such a special time for baby and for mom. Let me capture it!

His sweet little hands on his newborn cheeks give me all of the feels! Such a perfect baby boy. Baby lips, baby toes, baby cheeks, and baby fingers. Top ten favorite things.

I could stare at him all day long. What is your favorite thing about this newborn portrait?

He was so happy this morning. I just love this closeup.

That look on Charlies face while Daddy is holding him up! I love it.

Look at that smirk with his mommy.

Cake time! Charlie devoured his cake. We eventually had to take it away, he would have eaten it all!

MJ – cypress first birthday portrait

Have you heard of a Cake Smash session? There are a lot of trends that come and go, but a Cake Smash session is here to stay. I am a Cypress baby photographers and I love doing Cake Smash Sessions. I typically schedule them when the baby is around 11 months old. That way they are done by the time the Birthday party is thrown!

Here’s how Cake Smash sessions go down at MJ’s Photography |cypress first birthday portrait

We plan a theme. Since most of my Cake Smash sessions are of clients who are part of my “grow with me” plan, meaning I have done their newborn portraits and 6 & 9 month milestones, we usually already have a consistent theme going with their little one. I do get new clients that come in just for their Cake Smash session, in that case we put together some ideas. I am more of a simple background kind of photographer, so I stick to the basics. What colors do they want? What theme is their birthday party going to be done in? I provide most of the props, such as the large number 1, the things for them to sit on, the background banner that displays O-N-E, and some other accessories. Of course lots of parents choose to bring more and that is completely ok!

We plan outfits for their Cake Smash session. I allow a couple outfit changes. We usually do one outfit before the cake, that way we can get an “official” first birthday portrait. Then we change them into their “cake smash outfit.” For girls, some opt for the tutu and necklace look, a romper, or a cute onsie with a number 1 displayed. For boys, my favorite option is the shorts with suspenders and a little hat! Some other cute options are bloomers and a matching bow tie, or just a diaper cover. Again, less is more.

Parents bring the cake for the Cake Smash session. The main reason for this is because of allergies. Each baby is different and it is safer if the parent brings the cake. I am big on baby safety whether it is a newborn portrait or a cake smash session. Most opt for the smaller cake. There is not need for a huge cake to make it a success. You want to bring the cake at room temperature, that way it is easier to dig into. Of course, living in Texas, this is never a problem! Colors to avoid? Red. Why? It is so hard to clean off of them and leaves them with a skin dye for a little while. For icing, avoid fondant-it is really hard to break into and can create a choking hazard.

Can I just assume that my baby will dig in? No. Not all babies will. My daughter wanting nothing to do with the cake and avoided it at all costs. Some do that. She also had never had cake before. Babies are hesitant with new textures, so give them a little practice run before with a small cupcake, this will help.

Lastly, make sure to bring wet wipes, extra clothes, and plan on giving your little one a good bath when they get home! There will be cake everywhere, but that’s the whole point of a Cake Smash session!

Cake smash sessions are a blast. It is such an amazing way to capture their personalities for their first birthday. I love photographing first birthdays. So much personalities in such little babies! The only problem with cake smash sessions is, WHY DIDN’T THEY COME AROUND SOONER! I wish I had one of myself ha ha!
