Chattanooga Newborn: Ella Kate

Ella Kate is brand new.   She is Matt and Holli’s first and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their newborn child.  I haven’t had the opportunity to document the beginning of life for very many people, so I definitely enjoy getting to see how small we all start out.  The details in a newborn’s room are fun to photograph as well because they’re typically vibrant and full of color; also notice there is a seemingly random picture of birds and flowers here. That’s actually a rather large canvas painting that was hand-drawn & painted by Holli.  Here are a dozen of my favorite images. Congratulations Matt and Holli!

I’m honestly blown away by this set. The light is so perfect for this shoot.

I’m not usually a big fan of newborn sessions because the focus becomes the props & not the baby. So happy to see that’s not the case here. What beautiful photos of a sweet child. Great job.

You did an awesome job with these. The parents must have been thrilled to see these.

WOW. These are gorgeous!!! I love the detail shots and honestly the lighting and processing is beautiful.

Awesome session Paul. The last shot is tops!
