Choosing the perfect baby outfit for photos can be a challenge. I prepared a style guide for my clients to help them through this all-important task as they prep for their sessions. I have them for each of my specialties: Family, Newborn, and Mini!

Fun fact: My spring mini’s are open and booking! Email my at katknuthphotography@gmail.com or call (602) 741-8483 to reserve your spot!

But sometimes, the baby outfit chooses you. Or…chooses your baby? Haha!

In this case, my mom selected something neither of us could resist:

Now, this little number didn’t come with the bow, but because I am an absolute baby bow hoarder, I had it on hand and it went just PERFECTLY. But the ballerina dress and coordinating faux fur coat were irresistible (wait for it)!

I love the color. That lovely rose pink and the soft silver glitter inlaid in the skirt. The too fancy gold lace around her waist. The simple bodice. In her crib, her happy place, my darling girl just giggled and smiled up a storm! Perfect for her all-too-excited photographer momma!

So, I have no idea how my two month old darling learned how to sassily pose like that, but I’m not disappointed! Haha! I love when you can see a baby’s future personality come alive in little gestures like this. It’s so much fun to watch them grow and develop into tiny humans!

Anyway, to finish the shoot, I added the effervescent faux fur coat:

I just can’t. HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT?! I took way too many pictures of this outfit and stashed it in a keepsake box for her when she grows up. Sometimes, grandma really knows best.

It’s interesting, as a photographer momma, how I choose to photograph my own kids. It’s a personal choice, of course. I do practice on them pretty much constantly, whether it’s taking pictures while they play or something a little more staged.

Sometimes, I like to just…meet them where they are. For example, my daughter is happiest in her crib. Around 2-3 months, most of our photoshoots took place there, just before naptime (she nurses to sleep and likes to cuddle for a while afterward). I learned how to light her crib by positioning the blinds in the window just so, depending on the natural light outside.

I started using these simple setups to capture her special or most adorable outfits. For example:

I loved the contrast for this photo. Her bedding, passed down from her brother, a dark blue background full of colorful dinosaurs. Her custom onesie, white with text. An absurdly poofy skirt, dusty purple and so much fun for her to play with while I worked. I debated putting a bow on her nearly hairless head but decided not to overwhelm her with all the addons. Besides, she’s a baby. She’s perfect just as she is.

Her sweet smile proves it.

I’ll share a few more shoots I did like this, where my daughter is her most relaxed and happy. Stay tuned!

It is that magical time of year again! Winter is receding, buds are just beginning to form, and then photographers begin to offer spring mini sessions!

See details here:

I’m a recent addition to Longmont, Colorado, (I know, I know, don’t hate me! I married a native! It doesn’t count!) and my favorite season is, by far, spring. I love how the world begins to awaken, shaking off the long, bleak winter, and bursting forth with crabapple blossoms, tulips, and daffodils. I’ll buy so many daffodils for my home over the next few weeks, it’s bananas. They’re just so cheerful! Like little trumpets of joy, shouting that warmth and sunshine is coming!

Can you tell I’m mostly from the southwest? Winter is HARD for me. Haha!

The best way to celebrate this changing season? Why, with custom photography, of course!

This year, my minis are only $250 and INCLUDE 5 professionally edited digital images. I’ll give you more than that to choose from, of course, and you can purchase the entire album if you wish, but if you just want those 5 images, that’s okay by me!

My mini sessions this season will be 15-20 minutes long – just long enough to capture some adorable, fun, and gorgeous pictures of your family! I’ll host them in the evening, 5:30, 5:50, and 6:10 PM for two weekends toward the end of May:

May 20th:
5:30
5:50 (TAKEN)
6:10

May 21st:

As you can see a few dates have already begun to fill! To grab your slot, simply email me at katknuthphotography@gmail.com with your top 3 choices! I’ll do my very, very best to get you the perfect spot. Once we’ve agreed on a time, and you’ve paid your session fee, I’ll send you my how to prepare guide to get you all set for your photos!

Location is TBD based on foliage around that time. I will update you as soon as I see how things are blooming!

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to capture your family this season!
