Photo Session Winner: Sweet Baby Madisyn
This morning I had the chance to meet little Madisyn Skye for a newborn shoot. Isn’t she precious?
Madisyn’s parents were the winners of one of my newborn photo sessions that I gave away last month.
Madisyn was a fun challenge to photo & I learned a few things from her like:
- When dealing with nude babies, keep plenty absorbent towels nearby
- Redos are not allowed
- The baby runs the show
- Keep your room as warm as possible
The sessions was planned for two hours but by the time it was over, it was three hours as I was on Madisyn’s schedule. It was all good & I enjoyed rocking her to sleep, which was totally not part of my deal 😉
I have to credit my photographer friends Kristen Caldwell & Maya Henderson for helping pull up the strength & nerve to a) offer this contest & b) actually pull it off. Thanks so much for the encouragement & creative ideas!
Over the next few days, I’ll be working on Madison’s photos & will post a few more so you can marvel at my amazing skills.
Accessories:
- Bracelet: Pier One Napkin holder (yes, it really is)
- Lace Baby Wrap: Springtree Road Handspun Yarn & Fiber
Such a sweet photo. I love the mohair baby wrap too (you know, knitting and all)!
Lemme find out you photographed Sandra Bullock’s bootleg baby WITH the African beads! LOL!
This little munchkin is absolutely adorable. Love her name. And yes boo, I can’t even check you. We ARE marveling at your amazing skills. I know her parents will treasure these forever. The wrap is the perfect touch.

i adore her name. and she is just perfect.
Phenomenal work. I’ve never photographed a newborn so this is true inspirational work for me. What a kind thing to do to give away the session.
Great job. 🙂
I can’t even look that precious baby straight in the face! That sweet little mocha cherub will make me go put my uterus back into business!
The pictures are awesome. I’m sure her parents are beyond pleased.
Awesome! I love the whole thing … the photos and the process…
You knocked it out of the park! What a beautiful baby! Great work.
Thx so much for all of the feedback friends!!!
And yes, I was geeked to use the slave beads, which were inspired by Louis Bardo Bullock. Haha!
Awesome pictures and thanks for sharing the tips. Originally saw Baby Skye on Flickr. Just had to learn the backstory.
Beautiful, precious and your skills are amazing. LOL
