A Tiny Miracle in My Arms: Letizia’s Newborn Photo Session

Hi, I’m Marianna, a family photographer, and today I’d love to share with you Letizia’s newborn photo session—a story I had the pleasure of capturing with my heart and camera.

The photographs taken during this special time will become an everlasting memory of this brand-new life.

January gifted us a sweet start to the year: the newborn photo session of little Letizia. Just a few days old, barely a handful of hours cradled by the world, Letizia welcomed us with her delicate presence and that unique sense of peace only newborns can bring. Every shot became a piece of magic, an eternal memory wrapped in a breath of light.

As always, for this kind of session, I take a gentle and respectful approach that follows the baby’s rhythm. We took all the time we needed to cuddle, feed, change, and most of all—listen to the needs of our little star. Patience is the secret ingredient to capturing authentic, serene images.

Letizia was wide awake for most of the session, treating us to big-eyed gazes, heart-shaped lips, and hands posed with grace. We chose soft, warm neutrals, natural fabrics, and simple, cozy setups that enhanced her delicate beauty. Her tiny fingers, curled-up toes, the softness of her cheeks—each detail tells the story of a life just beginning.

In the arms of her mom and dad, Letizia looked even smaller. There is something deeply poetic in the fragility of the first days and in the quiet strength of the bond that holds a new family together. And that’s exactly what I aim to capture: genuine, intimate emotions that last forever.

Photographing newborns is an immense privilege. To quietly step into the very first days of a new life, to document every precious detail with love and discretion—this goes far beyond just “taking beautiful pictures.” It’s about telling a story that is only just beginning.

Thank you to Letizia’s parents for opening their hearts to me. And thank you, Letizia, for reminding us—on a cold January day—just how powerful and radiant the sweetness of life can be.
