Knox | Macon Lifestyle Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 17:59:39 GMT

I haven't had the chance to shoot many candid, in home newborn sessions recently, although I do love this style of photography too! We first planned Knox's newborn session to be an outdoor session because of the Covid pandemic. But plans changed a little since i was able to be fully vaccinated before his birth and I was able to do his session partially outdoors and partialling in the family's gorgeous home. I absolutely loved this family and the moments we captured!

Maddux | Macon Newborn photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Thu, 27 May 2021 01:47:40 GMT

It is such an extreme honor (and also very nerve-racking) to photograph another photographer, especially someone as amazing as Leigh! We met through a local 'community over competition' photography group and traveled to a huge photography convention together a few years ago. Leigh brings light and love to everything in her life, so even though I was nervous I knew her family would be a joy to photograph. The family brought little Maddux in for his session at 2 weeks new. I loved being able to photograph Maddux with his family, and also capturing some special photos of just the girls!

Ar'Mani | Macon Newborn Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 22:21:13 GMT

The typically newborn session is booked before baby is even born, and then shot around 10 days old. But a lot of times parents don't realize this or don't plan ahead for their newborn portraits. This is usually ok, and I am happy to accomodate last minute bookings when possible. Older newborns are always welcome in my studio too! Ar'Mani's mother contacted me when she was just shy of 3 weeks old. I was able to fit her in early the following week, and she was 25 days old when we photographed her. She did amazing and slept for her whole session. I'm so glad I was able to capture these memories for her and her family,

Baylor | Studio and Lifestyle Newborn Session

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 19:42:09 GMT

I had the pleasure of working with sweet Baylor for two sessions. He came into the studio at 12 days old for his posed studio session, and then I went to his beautiful home a few days later to take more candid lifestyle portraits of him with his parents and sweet furbrother Barkley. I will be re-introducing this option to my clients for May 2021 due dates and beyond. Contact me for more information.

Journee | Macon Newborn Photography

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:16:45 GMT

Journee's newborn session was one of the most special sessions I have photographed. Her mama had decided not to be photographed with Journee, but I happened to notice that I had a swaddle wrap that was made of the exact same fabric as the shirt she was wearing. She said that must be a sign and decided to take a few portraits with her baby. Then when we were finished, I asked her what the meaning of the name Journee is. She told me she lost a son a few year ago, and about her journey back to being able to live after that devastating loss. She started a foundation to honor his memory and his giving spirit. She unexpectedly met someone new and fell in love again. And now she has Journee.

This session was so emotional. We laughed, we cried, and we made some beautiful photos for her to have forever.

This sweet family brought their baby Sunny into the studio for her newborn portraits when she was just 12 days old. These girls were so sweet and the whole family is just precious. We chose mostly muted natural colors for her session with a touch of pink!

I have been photographing this sweet family since big sister Lula was in mommy's belly over 6 years ago! They are one of my favorite families, always so laid back and fun to photograph. This session was for baby sister Clara's first birthday, so I photographed her in the same chair that has been in the family for generations. All of the children have had their portrait taken in it.

I was so happy when this family contacted me to photography their new addition Penelope. I took big brother Abram's newborn photos last year and he was just perfect. I was excited to meet his little sister and photograph them all together. Penelope did great for her session just like Abram did. For safety with social distancing, with did the family photos outdoors and then came inside the studio for the sibling and baby poses.

Phoenix was one of the smallest newborns I have photographed, born at just 4 lbs 14 oz. She came to the studio at just one week old for her newborn session. She was awake for most of her session, so I kept her swaddled and comfy. Her dad loves Batman and DC Comics, while her mom loves pink!

Its such an honor when families come back to see me again and again. I photographed big brother Knowles when he was a newborn and a toddler, so I was so happy to see how much he has grown! He did great for his sibling poses and little brother Lawton was so good that we got a great variety of shots in my shorter session time.

Kehlani | Macon Newborn Portraits

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 21:41:03 GMT

Most clients will contact me during their 2nd trimester of pregnancy to book their newborn session. I take a small retainer, then put the due date on my calendar. Once the baby is born we schedule the session for 1-2 weeks old in order to capture those squishy, curled up poses that parents love. I also have a lot of people that contact me for the first time after their baby is born and they realize they want to capture this beautiful fleeting time. I try my best to fit in anyone who would like beautiful newborn photos of their precious baby. Kehlani's grandmother contacted me when Kehlani was already 2 weeks old, and thankfully I was able to fit her in. Kehlani came into the studio at 3 weeks old. She is breathtakingly beautiful! Her grandmother explained that Kehlani is a rainbow baby, which means that her mother sadly had a miscarriage before she became pregnant again with Kehlani. I love to set up special rainbow themes for these special babies to symbolize hope after a storm.

Jovi came into the portrait studio at 9 days old for her newborn portraits. Then I went to their adorable home when she was 3 weeks old to do the family photos. We had incorporated their dogs at their maternity session, so I was so glad we could capture all of them together! Some other special moments from the newborn session were photographing Jovi with her mother's wedding dress, and capturing a portrait with a photo of her late great grandmother.

There parents chose my shorter session, and we were able to get a great variety of sets up and shots since the babies were so easy going. They came into the studio wearing the cutest little onesies, so I had to get a shot of each of them wearing them.

One special item his mom brought in was an heirloom quilt for me to photograph him on. We used mostly neutrals and blue for his session, which are so timeless and looked great on him.

In order to mitigate risk during the pandemic, I'm doing the family portion of newborn sessions outdoors. We met a couple of weeks after the studio session to get some adorable and unique family portraits with their new baby.

I loved seeing Harper and her parents again for her first birthday photoshoot. I remember how sweet and excited Harper's parents were at her newborn session and couldn't wait to see them again. You can see her newborn session here. She has grown so much! I love her chubby cheeks and chubby toddler legs. She was a little shy with me at first, but we ended up getting some really cute portraits of her and her gorgeous parents.

I loved working with this sweet family! In order to keep extra safe for my little clients, at the moment I am only photographing my posed newborn sessions inside the studio, and doing everything else outdoors. I feel like that is the safest way to go right now! So Hunter's mama brought her into the studio at 2 weeks old for special portrait with her wedding dress and my studio props. Then I went to their home when Hunter was 3 weeks old for the family pictures. Everything turned out so beautifully!

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Thu, 07 May 2020 16:02:16 GMT

I know this is a season of disappointments for many. There are events and celebrations that we all are missing, and that we will never be able to get back or 're-do'. I have had to shut down my studio temporarily, and I miss photographing babies terribly! I lost my motivation for shooting and barely picked up my camera for weeks. So I was excited when the shelter in place orders ended and Connor's mom contacted me to take a few senior photos for his graduation announcements. That was a session I could do and still social distance at 6 feet away!

Connor was so patient, polite and sweet during his session. Connor played baseball and ran cross country in high school. So we made sure to take some portraits on the baseball field at the school. Connor had saved all of his running numbers from his cross country meets, so we captured a cool image of him throwing them all in the air. We also made sure to take a portrait of Connor with the running shoes and headband he used for cross country.

I'm honored I was able to help capture a few more happy memories of this amazing kid at his beloved school!

I love her red hair and her sweet dimpled cheeks! I have the option to photograph milestones either in studio or outdoors. Nora's parents chose a simple and timeless studio session to capture her at age 2. I love how these show off different aspects of her personality.

I love the neutral but girly colors that her mom chose for her session, and the mix of more traditional and modern styles of clothing she brought in for Charlotte to wear for her session. It took a minute for Charlotte to try her cake, but once she had a taste of it, she decided to dive right in!

Jordan was a little peanut at just 5 lbs and some change the day of her session. She was spunky and didn't want to sleep, but paid me back for my hard work with some great eye contact. She did eventually fall asleep and we were able to get some darling poses. Her family was so sweet and a joy to photograph. I know little Jordan will love looking at these pictures when she is older, and she will love seeing how much she was loved and doted on.

Sandra has originally booked an outdoor session but 2020 has just been full of rain in Macon. Instead of rescheduling, Sandra chose to come into the studio for her session. I love simple studio portraits so I was thrilled! She opted to wear a red gown that I have in my client closet, and it looked great on her. I also asked her to wear a white sheer gown for some glowing backlit portraits.. We also were able to get some dramatic black and white images. I love that with just a quick wardrobe change and different lighting or backdrops we can get a variety of beautiful looks in the studio.

Bryce | Middle Georgia Newborn Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 16:56:43 GMT

I photographed this beautiful family a couple of years ago for big sister Isla's newborn portraits, so I was excited when they contacted me to capture their newest addition Bryce. This time they chose my hybrid newborn package, which includes both a studio session for just the baby and then family photos in their home. This is a great option for bigger families or for those who want both beautifully posed newborn portraits and more relaxed, natural family portraits with your new baby. Its also great for capturing the nursery and the home where your are making those precious first memories with your little one.

We kept Bryce's studio portraits in neutral tones, which is timeless and will match their home decor beautifully.

One special portrait that Bryce's mommy had to have was a simple black and white of Bryce in her Daddy's hands. This one will go on the wall next to similar images of her big sisters and brother.

I loved capturing this family in their home, it was a lot easier than bringing the young siblings to the studio, and they were able relax and have fun.

Little Liam came into the studio at just 8 days old for his newborn portraits. He was so sleepy and did great, so we were able to get so many sweet set ups with him. I love photographing a baby on just a plain white or cream blanket. These are so simple and timeless!

I also photographed Liam in a number of cute props, but tried to continue with the simple cream color scheme for a cohesive look to his gallery.

I also photographed Liam with a gray set up, which was a color his parent's requested as well.

Liam's parents brought in this cute moses basket for some of his portraits. I love how it gave a sweet natural, lifestyle look.

They also brought in his coming home outfit for some portraits. He looks so cute and snuggly in it!

I also love capturing newborn with their parents! These are probably going to be the most important photos for Liam to have when he grows up. I'm sure he will want to look back and see how much he was loved!

Liam's parents booked a maternity/newborn package and were able to save money by bundling their portrait package. You can see some photos of their maternity session in my blog post here.

Emily | Macon family photography

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 23:10:35 GMT

We photographed Emily's gorgeous maternity session back in November, when the colors are so pretty and before it got too cold. Fall is just a beautiful time for photos in Georgia, and these came out so great. The weather, light, and fall colors were just perfect! Emily booked one of my maternity/newborn packages. I have a number of different packages available depending on how many pictures you would like and the amount you would like to invest. I also offer milestone packages to capture your baby from baby bump to first birthday!

Atley | Macon Newborn Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 21:34:35 GMT

Atley's parents contacted me after she was born but I was still able to fit her in for a newborn session within the recommended 2 week time frame. Her parents brought her into the studio at 12 days old. She was a little unsettled for her session at first, so I wrapped her up in order to get some sweet swaddled portraits. She even gave us a couple of cute smiles! Atley is a rainbow baby, so we incorporated a rainbow theme for some of her newborn pictures. You can read more about what a rainbow baby is, and even see one of Atley's portraits featured on the Click Magazine blog here.

Connor James | Macon Newborn Portraits

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 15:20:53 GMT

This was a special session for me because Connor's sweet mommy Kristel was one of my first clients when I started my photography business. I started my business mostly taking pictures for friends or through personal referrals, but I believe Kristel was the first person to find me through google and book a session. I photographed her maternity session and newborn photos her daughter Ava back in 2013. Kristel and her family are so nice, easygoing, photogenic - so I was excited to work with them again!

Little Connor has a big blended family, and I am so happy we were able to get everyone into the studio and take lots of family shots. I sometimes tell parents that these photos are no only for you, they are also for your little one! One day Connor will be able to look back on these and see how loved and doted on he was from the very beginning of his life.

Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Connor's daddy and big brother love baseball, so we were able to take some special sports themed photos of him. I love this next photo, it feel like he is dreaming about his first t-ball game!

Bentley | Macon Newborn Portraits

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Sun, 16 Feb 2020 23:51:55 GMT

Bentley's sweet mama and grandma brought him into the studio at just 9 days old for his newborn session. They didn't realize that its often necessary to book a newborn portrait session before the baby is born, but thankfully I was able to squeeze him in to my schedule during that precious window where babies are still very sleepy and curl up easily. Bentley's grandmother commented that she chose me to take his portraits because she wanted someone who was really a newborn photography professional. I'm glad my portfolio and years of experience won her over! Bentley did so good for his session and slept so peacefully the whole time. We were able to get a great variety of shots!

Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Bentley's family are big UGA fans, so I photographed him with this cute little bulldog lovie.

And speaking of lovies, Bentley's grandmother loved the images of babies holding the little bears and other animals in my portfolio. So I incorporated them into a lot of his portraits.

Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d

Canon 6d I I also incorporated a little red heart since Bentley's birthday fell very close to Valentine's Day.

Canon 6d II was also able to incorporate and hunting and forest animal theme in some of the images, using some antlers his mom brought to the studio and also a little knitted fox bonnet set they picked out from my collection.

Ivy | Macon Baby Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 18:27:32 GMT

One of the most flattering moments as a photographer is when I client I have worked with in the past contacts me and says "I love our photos so much that I had to hire you again!". I love to watch my little newborns grow with the baby milestone sessions I offer, and I also love to watch families grow! I photographer's little Ivy's big brother Macklan when he was a newborn in 2017, and I also photographed his first birthday/ cake smash session the following year. I was thrilled when they contacted me again to photograph their newest addition Ivy. We kept her session simple and timeless with lots of creams, peach, and soft pink.

Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d Canon 6d

I shoot with a variety of lenses at my sessions in order to get different looks without disturbing baby. I had my close up lens on and Ivy made the cutest little grumpy face. I was so sleep deprived when my kids were newborns that I can't even remember the faces they made in their sleep. I'm so glad I can capture these little details for my clients!

Canon 6d And finally, here is a comparison of big brother Macklan in 2017 in a similar pose. I think her birth weight was about 1 lb more than his and you can really tell what a difference it makes in how they look!

Wesley came into the studio at 10 days old for his newborn portraits. He was so sleepy and perfect for his session. Some special moments were portraits with his sweet older brother and sister (they were so well behaved in the studio!), and a special composite image taken of Wesley the cutest little sloth outfit his mommy brought in for him to wear.

Are you worried your little one will not cooperate for newborn photos? I have worked with hundreds of babies, so I have the experience and knowledge to capture beautiful, timeless portraits that you will love! Little Riley was a bit fussy on the day of his session, so his mom thought the session would not go well. But with a lot of patience and gentle posing we were able to get a full gallery of beautiful newborn portraits. I even captured a couple of smiles!

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 15:52:42 GMT

Beautiful Cayson came in to the studio at 17 days new. I do recommend around 10 days old for your newborn session, but I'm not afraid of older babies and have had successful newborn sessions up to 7 weeks old! Softball is a big part of this family, so we photographed her with a softball and with a little league ball too. She also gave us a huge grin for one of her portraits!

Hudson age 2 | Macon child photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 17:26:14 GMT

Although I'm mostly known for my specialty of newborn photography, I do love to photograph all ages! And I love watching my little newborn clients grow! I offer milestone sessions at any time, and I'm honored when clients come back to me over the years for updated portraits of their children. Little Hudson was such a ham and I loved capturing his sweet and fun personality at this session! I even attempted to re-create a favorite pose from his newborn session, but don't be fooled, I just lucked out and was able to capture a blink!

Feel free to contact me anytime to schedule a session for beautiful, timeless portraits or your child!

I have a special newborn package available for new parents who would like to capture both beautiful posed studio portraits of their baby, and also want to capture the new nursery they worked so hard to create and documentary images of those first fleeting days at home with their new baby. Cash's parents brought him to the studio at one week old, and then I went to their home for lifestyle portraits when he was 3 weeks old.

Clara | Macon Baby Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 16:12:13 GMT

Little Clara is the third newborn I have a photographed for this family. I have worked with them since big sister Lula was in mommy's tummy and I absolutely love this family. They always have the cutest ideas for their sessions and their love just shines through every shot. Some special moments from Clara's session were photographing her with the same heirloom quilt we also used at big sister and big brother's newborn sessions. We did some cute pumpkin themed portraits since she was born in October, and then she even came back in December at one month old for some Christmas themes photos!

DONUT GROW UP! | Macon Baby Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:29:50 GMT

I'll have to admit I was a little nervous leading up to this session. One toddler can be a handful in the studio. As much as I plan and prepare in order to to have the best possible outcome, toddlers are unpredictable! Will he stay on the set? Will she eat the cake? Will he be in a good mood? Multiply that times two and I wasn't sure how it would go. But all my worries were over as soon as these cuties came into the studio. They were so happy and did so great for their session. And can you believe their parents MADE the donuts themselves? I am so impressed. The smelled as good as they looked, and I should have stolen one because I bet they tasted great too.

Although middle brother was not interested in participating (you know that toddlers can be tough customers!) we did not give up, and I was able to capture a sweet shot of him admiring his new little best friend. Big brother wins a badge of honor and ice cream for a year because of his patience!

But I also don't mind if clients contact me right after to birth, and I can often squeeze them in for a session! Miss Brooklyn's parents contacted me when she was already a week old, but I was able to fit her in to capture this sweet newborn stage for them. She was a little over two weeks old for her session but she did great and we were able to capture some adorable newborn portraits of her. One special moment from her session was posing her with her daddy's state patrol hat. I also was able to do a couple of portraits using floral elements that her mommy requested.

One special moment from their session was when I was able to capture Reagan in the same coming home outfit that her mother wore as a newborn. It was so precious and Reagan just looked like a little doll! Also, Reagan was born during Cherry Blossom time here in Macon, GA. So I captured a special cherry blossom themed portrait for her.

I was so honored to be chosen to capture Cooper's newborn portraits, since his mama is a amazing wedding and family photographer. It was pleasure to work with his gorgeous family. Sweet big sister Claire was so fun to work with and she was great with her little brother.

Elliana | Macon Newborn Photographer

I'm honored when parents bring their 2nd (or sometimes 3rd or 4th!) baby to me after I photographed their first baby. Its the biggest complement! I photographed Elliana's big brother a couple of years ago, and they brought little sister in at 9 days new. The opted this time for my shorter newborn session, which is a great option if you don't feel like you need a ton of images or different set ups, and just would love some simple, beautiful newborn portraits of your new baby. Here are some favorites from Elliana's session.

Caia at 6 months old | Macon baby photography

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 12:50:00 GMT

I love it when parents bring their baby that I photographed as a newborn back to the studio! I offer milestone sessions for when your baby can push up from their belly, sit up unassisted, pull up to stand, and to celebrate their first birthday. These are quick 30-45 minute sessions that will result in timeless heirloom photos of your baby! Some parents chose to only have their baby photographed, but I also offer the option to include the whole family! Here are some favorites from Caia's recent sitter session in my Macon GA portrait studio.

Nora's First Birthday | Macon Cake Smash Photographer

I love watching the newborns I photograph grow up! It was so fun to have Nora at the studio for her first birthday session. For first birthdays, I have the option of just having some studio portraits made, or adding in a cake smash for extra fun! Its a great way to celebrate your little one's big day.

W family | Macon Lifestyle Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:09:35 GMT

I love how lifestyle photography allows kids to just be kids, and allows me to capture the their true personalities. I was honored to be invited into the home of this sweet family in order to capture a slice of their lives.

Ryker | Macon Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 18:52:32 GMT

Most new parents choose to bring their babies into my Macon photography studio, but I am also available to come to your home for a lifestyle type of newborn session. These sessions aren't as posed and don't include all the props, but they are a really sweet way to capture that fleeting time when you bring a new baby home. Ryker's parents chose to capture their little man both ways. They brought him into the studio at one week old for my shorter simple newborn session, and then I went to their home for a full lifestyle session the following week. I loved being able to get some great frame-able images of Ryker in the studio, but then also documenting the love this new family has for each other in their own home. Feel free to email me bonnie@bonnieirisphotography.com if you would like more info on how I can capture your own family in this way.

Here are some of the portraits from Ryker's simple newborn session in my studio:

And then when he was a little over 2 weeks old, I photographed the lifestyle portraits in the comfort of their own home:

H Twins | Macon Newborn Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 22:01:25 GMT

How fun are twins! I loved working with these adorable little guys and their sweet parents. They were born a little early, so they came in for their newborn session around 6 weeks old. They did great for the session and were so cute.

Harper | Macon Newborn Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 15:05:49 GMT

If you need a more affordable alternative to a full newborn session, I also offer simple newborn sessions in my Macon newborn photography studio. These take just 1-2 hours and they come with 10 digital images. This session is totally styled by me, and you can choose either a beanbag (baby on a blanket) and prop set up, or beanbag and parent poses. If baby isn't too fussy I can often get an extra set up in as well. I prefer to book newborn sessions before they are born to ensure my availability, but sometimes I can fit you in if you did not plan ahead! Harper's mom did not realize how important capturing newborn portraits would be to her until this sweet baby's arrival. She was a last minute booking, but I was happy to fit her in! She did great for her session and loved being swaddled!

Thomas | Macon Fresh 48 Newborn photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 20:05:42 GMT

Fresh 48 sessions are portraits of a new baby and their family taken in the hospital within 48 hours of birth. These are documentary sessions showcasing those sweet first moments with your new baby. I love these sessions because they capture these special, fleeting moments with just the new baby and his or her family. I had the honor of photographing little Thomas and his family when he was just one day old.

Contact me if you are delivering in a Macon hospital (or having a home birth!). I would love to capture these beautiful moments of your new baby for you.

Mia | Macon Newborn Photographer

(Bonnie Iris Photography) — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 12:54:02 GMT

Most of the newborns I photograph are around 1-2 weeks old, but occasionally I will be contacted by parents who didn't realize they needed to book a newborn session while still pregnant. Or they didn't realize how important capture their little baby would be to them until she was born and they realized how fast they grow. Whatever the reason, I'm happy to photograph newborn portraits when your baby is up to 6 weeks. I prefer to book your newborn session when you are still pregnant, but don't feel like you missed the boat! If I have an opening I love to fit in older newborns too! Here is Mia at 6 weeks new.
