Simply Blessed Portraits

Magic in the making—and safety first! 🦌✨

​Ever wonder how those intricate, creative newborn setups come to life?

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain to show you the secret behind the camera!

​When a parent requests an image with Dad's deer head, we are always happy to oblige with some studio magic to make it happen!

​Swipe to see how this rugged, rustic portrait was actually created.

​📸 The Reality:

​Sweet baby was photographed completely flat, cozy, and 100% safe on a secure surface.

​Dad as my amazing assistant held the mount to get the fabric tension just right.

​A little sprinkle of Photoshop magic brought the two worlds together!
​In my studio, a baby's safety is always the absolute priority. No newborns are ever suspended in mid-air, hung from props, or placed in risky positions—everything you see is a carefully planned digital composite!

7 things I wish parents knew about in-hospital newborn photography

1. It’s not just “newborn photos”—it’s the first documentation of your baby’s life outside the womb.
These aren’t posed memories later… they’re the very beginning.

2. The timing feels rushed, but the experience shouldn’t be.
Even in a hospital setting, the goal is calm, slow, and baby-led.

3. You don’t have to be “ready” for photos to turn out beautifully.
No preparation, no planning, no perfect moment required.

4. The most emotional images are usually the simplest ones.
Tiny hands, wrapped details, quiet connection—not elaborate setups.

5. Your baby will never be this small again—even in a few days.
That’s why these early hospital hours matter more than most parents expect.

6. You don’t actually miss out if you feel overwhelmed in the moment.
The experience is designed so you can stay present while it’s happening.

7. What feels like a short hospital stay becomes a lifelong memory through images.
Most parents don’t realize how quickly those first details fade until they see them again.
