Oaklynn’s Newborn Session
Merrill, WI Newborn Photographer
Sweet baby Oaklynn was born just in time for Christmas! Her parent’s love for rustic, outdoorsy vibes paired perfectly with the approaching holiday.
But just because you have a holiday baby doesn’t mean those are the only types of pictures we can take. I love getting to know more about you and your family before your session to find out what colors, themes, props you would love to have as part of your session. Allan and Angela loved woodsy and florals in addition to some subtle Christmas photos. So that’s exactly what we did. And of course if you are obsessed with the holiday your baby is born near, we can definitely go all out!
Oaklynn brought a proud big sister and grandma to her session! We were able to capture some really sweet family memories that I hope they will treasure forever. And of course Santa just had to make a special appearance too!

Fussy Babies
Getting your picture taken is hard work!
As a newborn photographer - I have a lot of practice working with fussy babies.
You’ve just had a baby, your newborn session is all booked. You have spent the last several months fantasizing about what your baby’s newborn pictures will look like. You may even have a Pinterest board half a mile long with amazing images that you admire. You cannot wait to bring your vision to life!
The day of your session finally arrives. It’s so exciting! You get to the studio and hand the photographer your gorgeous baby. And your baby starts crying….and keeps crying…and crying…and crying.
At this point you be starting to freak out a little, this isn’t what you envisioned at all. You followed your newborn session prep guide! How can your photographer possibly get anything usable when your baby is being fussy!?!
I’m here to tell you it’s ok! And completely normal! I have many tricks to help with a fussy baby (these are just a few):
Wrapping
Feeding
Pacifier
Baby shusher
Rocking
Most babies are going to cry at least once during their session. This is totally normal and expected. It’s shocking for baby to be in a new place, to be undressed, and to be moved around multiple times. Getting your picture taken is hard work, you’d probably be fussy too! Your baby will most likely want to eat during their session, and may also need one (or more) diaper changes.
Most babies will settle after a short time, but some babies take longer. And on very rare occasions, will be too unhappy to safely pose.
Not to worry! While it’s rare that we are unable to get baby happy and sleepy, it does happen. In those situations, we simply reschedule for another day.
A couple of things that can contribute to a baby being fussier than usual at their shoot are:
Cluster feeding
Reflux or Gas
Illness
If your baby is experiencing these, it’s helpful to let your photographer know so we can discuss together and decide if we should move the session.
Your baby is the boss of their session. Their comfort and safety are Photography by Brooke’s absolute top priority.
