Newborn Cowboy ~Newborn Photographer ~ Oakley

I love some of the newborn outfits I see on Etsy. Adorable hats, amazing knits and crochet diaper covers, are all very cute when baby is laying in their crib or car seat. However newborn outfits can be tricky to photograph. Newborns are not created equal and a “one size fits all” hand made outfit can sometimes leave your precious newborn looking like a wet cat in an over sized bathing suit! While I personally prefer the birthday suit and the simplicity of a wrap or cover, I also encourage clients to bring sentimental items, small props, or things that capture the personality of the family their little one has been born into.

Well Mama is an equestrian! I have to admit I was skeptical, but when I put these hand made chaps and cowboy hat on this little guy I swear I could hear the lyrics, “I’m a cowboy” by Bon Jovi fill the room in surround sound like an anthem when he struck this perfect pose!

I cannot wait to see the final portrait when it’s framed and hung. Thank you for sharing your newborn cowboy with me and congratulations to you and your family.
