BABY HUDSON – Best Newborn Photographer Grand Junction
Watching families return as they grow is one of the quiet joys of my job as a newborn photographer. I first photographed Dutton when he was a newborn ( see here), and getting to welcome this family back to the studio with baby Hudson felt both familiar and brand new at the same time. I also have to admit, I do often call the little one by the older siblings name as so the parents. It all just takes a minute to get used to. 🙂
Devynn and Austin are incredibly warm and easy to be around, which makes their family session feel relaxed from the start. The classic family portraits on the bed are simple and timeless. Soft white textures, clean light, and close connection keep the focus on what matters most. Hudson is fast asleep in Austin’s arms (AND EVEN SMILED), completely content, while Dutton sits front and center, proud and confident in his new role.
Then there’s the fun side of this session, which fits this family perfectly. Dutton being lifted up mid-laugh brings so much personality into the gallery. These images are full of movement and joy and are such a great reminder that family photography doesn’t have to be still to be meaningful. These moments show real life with a toddler and a newborn—happy, a little wild, and full of love. I gotta admit I do have a soft spot for toddlers being upside down, flying, jumping, thrown in the air. 😉
The sibling images are some of my favorites. Dutton gently leaning over Hudson, resting close and staying still just long enough, is one of those moments parents treasure forever. Hudson sleeps peacefully, wrapped up and cozy, while Dutton’s expression says everything about how much he already cares for his baby brother.
This newborn and family photography session blends calm and playful in the best way. Clean styling and a bright, neutral studio allow the connection between everyone to stand out naturally. We even added a tiny bit of holiday flare for this December baby.
Devynn and Austin, I am so very grateful for your friendship and for returning to me. I know you will cherish your images for decades to come. Can’t wait to see you again soon!
Much Love,
Csilla
PS: as you can see below, we definitely finished 2025 with a LOT of FUN.
