A Calm, Cozy Newborn Session for Baby Kira

There’s something incredibly special about photographing a newborn in those first couple of weeks—when they’re still tiny, sleepy, and brand new. Kira Jane Marie Pearce was an absolute dream during her newborn portrait session.

Born on November 5, 2025 at 1:01 pm, Kira arrived weighing 5 pounds 13 ounces and measuring 18.5 inches long. Petite and peaceful, her session was designed around soft colors, gentle textures, and meaningful details her family wanted to remember forever.

This was a newborn-only session, allowing the focus to stay completely on Kira while Mom and Grandma relaxed and watched each setup come together.

Soft Pink Tones & Floral Styling

Soft pink tones and florals were a big part of Kira’s session and added such a sweet, timeless feel to her portraits. These setups were gentle, feminine, and perfectly suited her tiny features.

Keeping the styling simple and cohesive allows images like these to remain classic—something families can look back on years from now and still love just as much.

A Basket Setup Requested by Mom

One setup Mom specifically requested was a basket pose, styled with soft florals and pink tones. This setup was both cozy and timeless, giving Kira a snug, secure place to settle into.

These kinds of details—like choosing a specific prop—help personalize a newborn session and make the images even more meaningful for families.

One of the most meaningful setups from Kira’s session was this image featuring Dad’s acoustic guitar. This setup was especially important to Mom and Grandma and was planned as a surprise for Dad.

Carefully and safely posed, Kira resting on her dad’s guitar created a powerful, sentimental image—one that connects her to something deeply personal and meaningful. These are the kinds of photos that become true keepsakes.

This soft green setup was all about the details—the tiny hands, curled toes, sweet little nose, delicate ears, and all those features that change so quickly in the first weeks.

Including close-up images like these helps preserve just how small your baby once was. From the “hello world” sign to the tiny heart placed between her feet, every detail was captured intentionally.

A Quiet Nod to Dad’s Career

Another meaningful part of Kira’s session included a subtle nod to Dad’s career using his SMUD work gear. This setup was kept simple and understated—just enough to honor an important part of Kira’s family story.

Incorporating personal elements like this adds depth to a newborn session without overpowering the softness of the images.

A Touch of Magic | Harry Potter–Inspired Newborn Portraits

To finish her session, Kira was photographed in a Harry Potter–inspired setup, something her family loves and wanted to include in a subtle, meaningful way.

With the hardcover books, wand, glasses, owl, and themed details—and a little Photoshop magic added to the wand—this setup brought a whimsical touch to her newborn gallery while still keeping the focus on Kira.

Preserving These First Days

Newborn sessions are about so much more than photos. They’re about slowing down and preserving the tiny details, meaningful connections, and quiet moments that pass far too quickly.

Kira’s newborn portraits capture this fleeting season of life in a way her family will be able to look back on for years to come.
