There's something magical about springtime in Portland – the cherry blossoms are blooming, the air is filled with that fresh baby-rain smell (yes, that's totally a thing), and somehow our studio is overflowing with the sweetest little newborns. Coincidence? I think not! Mother Nature clearly knows what she's doing, coordinating all this new life with the perfect backdrop.
The Spring Baby Advantage
Here's why spring babies have it made:
They arrive just when the world is warming up, perfect for cozy family shots
Their 3-month photos align perfectly with summer sunshine
Their 6-month session hits right at peak fall colors
And their one-year photos? Hello, spring blossoms round two!
The Great Spring Baby Observations
After photographing countless spring newborns, I've made some scientific* discoveries (*not actually scientific, but absolutely adorable):
Spring babies seem to have an natural affinity for our floral props
They're surprisingly chill about the sound of spring rain
They look absolutely precious in our springtime color palette
And they have impeccable timing with those milk-drunk smiles
Nature's Perfect Props
Spring gives us the most incredible inspiration for newborn sessions:
Soft pastels that complement baby's delicate features
Natural textures that make every photo feel organic
Light that seems specifically designed for newborn photography
And a fresh energy that even our tiniest clients seem to pick up on
The LaLa Spring Baby Promise
While we can't guarantee that your spring baby will sleep through the entire session (though our warm studio and rain sounds work wonders), we do promise:
To capture every perfect springtime detail
To incorporate seasonal elements that tell your baby's birth season story
To keep your little one as cozy as a spring bud
And to document these fleeting moments while they're still fresh as April rain
