Hello, and welcome to my blog. I'm a natural light photographer living in the Boise, Idaho area with my husband and 5 kids. I enjoy capturing images of all kinds, but I am truly in love with photographing newborn babies. The first days of life are precious and magical and so very fleeting. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have at info@LauraFarrisPhotgraphy.com. Thank you for visiting my little corner of the web :)

13 lbs. : Nampa Idaho newborn photographer

So here's what some breastmilk, lots of sleep and 93 days will do...



I love those chunky legs and bum. Notice that the bed is actually the same size in both shots. I love that I have this to see just how much she's grown. It's amazing to me that she's changed so much in such a short time. Love this little girl.


And here's a pullback of the second shot. My kitchen is where I take about 95% of my pictures. I used 53" white seamless paper and port-a-stand by savage. I got it at B&H for around $100. I got the dollbed on ebay a couple years ago, but the vendor is no longer making them, sorry. I used window light from my sliding glass door with a little fill light from a bounced flash. And I warmed up the bed before I stuck Stella on there with a nice warm heating pad (lower right corner). Oh, and I cranked the heat up in the house to around 79 degrees so it wasn't too chilly for her.

3 months old : Nampa Idaho baby photographer

The last 3 months have flown by. Stella has grown so much and is really fun lately. She's a feisty little thing and usually not super easy to photograph. But she's been good to her mama this last week.

One of my favorites.



I love her little finger nails here.



This is supposed to be a kitten hat, but I think she looks a little bit more like a viking in it. Still cute.



I love all her chub here.






I never got to use this when she was a newborn so I decided to give it a try before she was way too big for it. Yes, it looks a little like she's choking here but she wasn't. In fact, she loved it and she was perfectly safe every second she was in it.




Love you Stella.

Beautiful baby boy : Nampa Idaho newborn photographer

This little guy was so sweet and oh so fun to play with. He made me miss my Stella being so very tiny. Oh how I love newborns...

Her book came!

I spent countless hours putting Stella's newborn book together. It was worth it. I love it. It's 89 pages long so I can't share the whole thing, but here are several of my favorite layouts.















































I'm so glad that's done and I can enjoy it!
