We are kicking off the new year with some beautiful images and we are excited to share them with you at last. Without further ado, the January 2025 contest winners.
And now….a few words from the January 2025 contest winners
“This was the first shot I took for the session! She gave me such a smirk, it was so cute! đ” -Shannon Fowler, Bella Baby 2nd Place
Most newborns sleep through their first photoshoot, but every now and then our photographers get to capture precious moments like this. This little one’s sweet smile is a moment this family will treasure forever. Great work Shannon!
“This Dad didnât want to be in photos at first because he was wearing a hoodie. I encouraged him to jump into photos letting him know he wonât get this moment back. In the end, it ended up being Mom’s favorite from the gallery.” -Veronica Rice, Bella Baby Honorable Mention
As Veronica says, these moments are ones that you won’t get back. We encourage every family to participate in their newborn’s hospital photography session. Whether you’re wearing a hoodie or a hospital gown, these first days are ones you’ll want to look back on for years to come.
“It was the morning after a snowstorm here in Michigan. The lighting was beautiful from the freshly fallen snow the night before. They were welcoming home their new sweet baby boy and having missed photos in the hospital I really wanted to give them that comfy cozy vibe.” -Veronica Rice, Bella Life 1st Place
There’s nothing like the light after a fresh snowfall! Although this family couldnât have their newborn session in the hospital, Veronica created a beautiful in-home photography experience for them. If you missed your opportunity to have photos in the hospital or if Bella Baby photos arenât available at your hospital, you can still capture these special moments by booking a newborn session with a Bella Life photographerâjust like this family did. Great work, Veronica!
“This picture was from my first Bella Life session ever! I loved getting to photograph baby in her beautiful nursery, and dad was happy to whip out his girl dad hat for his pink little girl.” -Lillian Lickona, Bella Life 2nd Place
Lillian is off to a beautiful start in her first Bella Life session. We love the way she incorporated this baby girl’s nursery wall into this family’s photoshoot.
Congratulations to all of our winners! We look forward to another year of capturing beautiful family moments in the hospital and at home.
