So you researched and hired a photographer for a baby photo shoot and the results are gorgeous. Now what? Tampa-based photographer Galina Sullivan not only takes the photos, but she helps clients maximize the experience and use the photos in their homes. Read on for two ways she helped the parents of this beautiful babe use their photos beyond framing them up for grandma and grandpa.
Galina tells us about two ways she helped these parents use a variety of the shots she took of their son Benjamin:
As a baby and children photographer, I create many beautiful birth announcements for clients who have just welcomed a new baby into their lives. When baby Benjamin first arrived, I knew what a special gift he was for his parents so I wanted to give them not only a gorgeous looking custom birth announcement card to share with their friends and family, but also something that they can cherish, enjoy and be able to look at every day.
By using pictures from Benjamin's newborn session and incorporating the design elements from his birth announcement, I created a unique and modern "collage" style art piece for his baby nursery wall. The colors compliment the decor of the nursery and the unique graphic elements from it, like the owl, make for a really beautiful modern but yet, very personal wall art piece to complete this gorgeous baby room.
Thanks Galina! Readers (especially ones in the Tampa area!), you can see more of Galina's child and baby photography and contact her at Captured by Galina Photography and her photography blog.

That little purple baby sack is awesome.
Great idea for the wall art. On another note, does anyone know who makes that cool birds-on-wire wall mount?
It's made by Boon http://www.booninc.com/products/Peep/1611
Love that bamboo mount! Beautiful :)
I think the photos are really good. But I don't find the collage "maximize the experience". It doesn't even look very professional, imho.
If anyone is wondering about the photo mounting, I'm not sure which service the photographer used, but I've used Plywerk with excellent results! They have bamboo (like shown here) and also birch plywood. Excellent company to work with!
Where can I find the tree wall decal?
Galina's pictures are always beautiful! I have admired her work for a long time and wish I live in Florida so she can take pictures of my son:)
yes where is the decal from??
Excited to see a photographer taking things up a notch - to taking home decor into consideration. Plain old taking photos and charging for prints seems like it is out of date. Everyone has a digital camera these days or a friend who takes great photos, need the professionals to stay a step ahead!
P.S. Did the parents really have such wonderful color coordinating photo props on hand for the photo shoot or did the photographer use photoshop to make the colors of items (ie. the swaddle blanket and knits) match so perfectly?
