Newborn Photographer Baton Rouge | Leann Messina Photography | Annie

Getting to document this girl’s first month of life was such an honor. Annie was four weeks old when we did her newborn session, and just look how cute she is! She traveled for three days after she was born to settle in at home with her family. After getting in the groove of parent life, Eric and Schyler reached out wanting to preserve her newness, and I’m so glad they did. Annie was a perfect angel, and even gave us a few really sweet smiles. Which one is your favorite?

Beautiful in blue.

Newborn Session availability varies throughout the year, but it’s always best to contact me right away to secure your due date. It’s always so sad when I have a mama reach out last minute, and I can’t squeeze them in. Please don’t wait until the last minute, and guarantee a spot with me by booking early.

Your brand new baby is the most precious thing in your life, and you wouldn’t comfortably hand them over to just anybody with a camera. Read what my friend, Tasha, says about Why You Should Hire A Professional Newborn Photographer.

Newborn Photographer Baton Rouge | Leann Messina Photography | Easton

Each newborn session is unique. I always ask if there is anything sentimental parents’ would like to include in their photos. I’ve had many different precious things brought in over the years from priceless hand-made blankets to late grandparent’s personal belongings. I have seen a deer hyde, a flight log, military gear, bridal veils, and many other items that mean something special. Soccer is a big part of this sweet family’s life, so they brought in a brand new soccer ball, no doubt Easton will be kicking it around soon enough. Scroll all the way down to see how we incorporated it into their session.

This might be my new favorite go-to shot.

After being with Cassidy and Rick during delivery, I was so happy to see this rodeo family again with their three-week-old bundle of joy! Seven pounds, pure perfection, and the most gorgeous eyelashes I have ever seen, this sweet girl absolutely rocked her session.

These are some of my favorite sweet moments captured with her Mommy and Daddy.

Newborn Photographer Baton Rouge | Leann Messina Photography | Henry

I almost died over how beautifully this little guy’s session turned out. I loved meeting him, his mother, and her cousin who was nice enough to drive them over all the way from the West side of the river in Port Allen! Mom asked for whites, browns, and blues to be incorporated into his session, and I’m absolutely loving the earthy, natural tones here. Henry was such a good little baby. I can’t wait to see him again!

My favorite newborn wraps I use are hand-knitted by a talented creator in Estonia! I love the matching bonnets she includes. One day I would love to be able to create my own wraps, but I just don’t seem to have the time these days! I have knitted small layers for my sets as you see in the last photo!
