I just had to stop by today and wish you all a Happy Easter!! I love Easter, not because I’m particularly fond of chocolate eggs or bunnies, but because it is the holiday that means spring has sprung! (Or will do so shortly. Thanks, crazy Colorado weather!) Plus, I promised!

Anyway, keeping with my tradition of celebrating those precious baby first, I had to take a shot at an Easter baby portrait. I couldn’t decide how to do it. Normally, I go down an Instagram rabbit hole (pun absolutely intended). But there wasn’t a lot to be inspired by. Searching “Easter baby,” “Easter newborn,” “spring baby,” etc., nothing seemed to give me what I was looking for.

Guess I needed to create it myself!

I originally wanted to shoot these pictures outside but the gorgeous white lace caught the sunlight in the strangest way. My daughter seemed to be in a halo, and not in a fun angelic kind of way. In a strange, why is that baby glowing like a lightning bug, kind of way.

Not cute.

But by setting up a studio inside, controlling the light with a few well-placed soft boxes, I was able to get the cute pictures of my little bunny. True to my signature style, I even thought to grab the knit blanket her great-grandmother made for her.

It was so much fun to mix the studio style with the lifestyle elements that define my newborn photography client experience. Of course, I’ll save this outfit for my daughter so that maybe one day she’ll pass it down to hers. One day in the very, very distant future, HAHA!

Again, Happy Easter everyone! Hope you spend today surrounded by love.
