When this little mans mom contacted me about doing a Harry Potter themed newborn session I screeched with excitement – I could already imagine how much fun it would be!
Cillian was a month old when I got to meet him for his photo shoot, which we set up in his amazing Harry Potter themed nursery, designed and created by his very talented mom. We had lots of fun collaborating and creating his newborn portraits.
This scarf and wand were handmade by her too! I was blown away by her attention to detail and how many amazing little props she made for our session. Knowing how excited she was about this session and how much effort she put into personalizing it made it so special to be a part of.
As you can see, Cillian has the most gorgeous, big, blue eyes there ever were. He was wide awake and super curious about me and my camera for the beginning of the session, allowing me to capture his little personality and cute facial expressions. I cuddled him up with his Hedwig stuffed animal and let him show off for me. I love the variety of faces he made. Seeing this collage instantly melts my heart – I can’t imagine what it does to his family!
Once we got him to sleep, we opened up his “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” book to chapter nine, and used his handmade scarf and wand to complete the Harry Potter theme we were going for.
A few other setups involved the warm, rich, Harry Potter colors and his “I solemnly swear I am up to no good” onesie. <3
I can’t leave this blog post without sharing some of the details of his amazing nursery…
Cara, you are seriously amazing! His nursery is gorgeous!
