Xander Swanson | Portrait Artist

I went up to Fayetteville about a week ago to get some sweet little newborn shots of little Mr. Jayce. He was a bit early, and we had quite the time scheduling around the Thanksgiving plans and such, but it all worked out well in the end. When I left Fort Smith it was all sunny and nice (natural window-light is awesome for newborn portraits). Of course when I got to Fayetteville, it was another story. While I don’t normally like doing newborn shoots using studio lights, I must say that I liked the results, especially the dramatic quality of the shots with mom and dad. And check out little man in the santa hat at the top of the blog, he’s the second image as it cycles through.

I love it when babies make eye contact…

love how dramatic the light looks here…

p.s.
Mom & Dad, there are more in your gallery that are in color, my faves just happened to be almost entirely in b&w. Thank you for welcoming me in to your home. It was great meeting you and your new little man!
