Newborn Photography Appleton | Griffen Forrest

One of the best parts about being a newborn and family photographer is photographing growing families. I’m in the same season of life of raising little kids and it is always wonderful to talk with other moms because I can relate to what they’re going through. When Emily reached out to me about photographing Griffen’s newborn photos, I was so excited because I photographed Emily’s maternity session and two other family sessions. It is such a joy to see her family grow. If you’re looking for newborn photography Appleton, keep scrolling to see more from Griffen’s newborn session! 

I recently attended a newborn photography workshop to add posed wrapped newborn photos to my in-home sessions. Griffen was my first in-home posed session after the workshop and it went so well!! (WI photographers, check out Ashley Herek for newborn workshops/mentorship!) He was a dream baby to work with. I took some gorgeous photos of him wrapped up like a little burrito and the best part was that the family didn’t have to go anywhere!! I was able to take those photos right from the comfort of their house. When you have newborn and other kids at home it can be really tough to get out of the house. One of the benefits that I am really happy to provide is coming to a family’s house for newborn photos. I also offer not only family photos, but posed newborn photos as well!

Some of my favorite moments from Griffen’s session were playing peek-a-boo with his big sister, Piper, taking photos of just him and mama on parents’ bed, and his bucket poses.

Another great moment from working with Emily and her family was revealing her photos in a slideshow. It felt so good to see her reaction to her photos in person versus sending an online gallery and wondering if she actually liked them or not. I recorded a short video of her reaction.

I do all of my viewing and ordering meetings either in-home or through Zoom. This means I answer all your questions about what to do with your photos after your session so they don’t end up sitting on your flash drive forever. Your photos are meant to be printed and enjoyed where you can see them.

This in-home newborn photography Appleton session was such a pleasure to photograph! There is so much obvious love between Griffen and his family. I’m so excited to watch him grow up and know that he will be showered with love!!! Welcome to the world, bud.
