Featured Newborn Shoot by Kelsy Nielson
Kelsy is from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She shoots primarily family sessions with about 12 weddings mixed in throughout the year. Twirls and Travels is her personal blogging project, a blog about exploring with kids.
From Kelsy: I shoot with limited lenses and gear for my newborn sessions. I like being able to concentrate on just photographing the new family coming together rather then bringing tons of stuff to set up. I also only use blankets and “props” found in their own homes to keep the images more personal.
