Today I am sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this Spring inspired newborn baby girl portrait.  When her mom and I were working together to plan Emily’s session she told me about how she really enjoyed this picture of my baby boy Sawyer with the carrots/dirt. So I knew I wanted to do something that brought the outdoors in for them.  While I was pondering what to do, I went to a local flea market.  While there I saw someone selling these simple plastic pots of spring pansies that were wrapped in a bit of burlap.  The touch of burlap added the perfect amount of rustic charm, and I was smitten.  I knew I wanted to incorporate those elements in to this session.  I headed over to pinterest next, where this tablescape image really caught my eye.  So the idea come together to have tiny terracotta pots of pansies on a flowing layer of burlap, weaving its way around the centerpiece, which was Emily of course.  The rustic feel of the finished image was exactly what we had in mind.

And here is the resulting image:
