Meet Our New Make-Up Artist

Natasha Welsh

We are beyond thrilled, at Little Wonders Portraiture, to welcome our new makeup artist, of Daily Canvas Makeup, Natasha Welsh. Natasha will be available for our maternity clients, new mom’s, as well as other women who want to enhance their looks for their photo sessions. She has already been hard at work with some of our clients who were all very pleased.

Natasha is the owner and makeup artist behind Daily Canvas Makeup. Known for her signature soft glam style, she creates refined, camera-ready looks that enhance natural beauty while still feeling polished and elevated. 

After spending more than a decade in the corporate world, Natasha decided to make the leap in 2025 and follow her passion full time. A native Houstonian, she graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and has called Kingwood home since 2020, where she lives with her husband, two energetic young sons, and their Weimaraner, Zuma. When she’s not working with clients, you can usually find her training for her next half marathon or cheering from the sidelines at her boys’ baseball and soccer games.

Natasha believes makeup should inspire confidence and creativity—not intimidation. While she values creating polished, wearable looks that help women feel their best in front of the camera and in everyday life, she also believes makeup should be fun. It’s your face, so it’s your canvas

So if you are planning a photography session with Little Wonders Portraiture I encourage you to book hair and makeup with Natasha! You will not regret it! Complete our contact form and let’s get started.

Essential Information for First-Time Newborn Photography Clients

As a newborn photographer, I understand that welcoming a new baby into your family is both exciting and overwhelming. Many first-time newborn photography clients have questions about what to expect, how to prepare, and when to schedule their session. My goal is to make the experience stress-free while creating timeless portraits that preserve your baby’s earliest days.

First-Time Newborn Photography Clients Guide

One of the most important things to know is that newborn photography sessions are best scheduled during pregnancy. The ideal time to photograph a newborn is between 5 and 14 days after birth. During this stage, babies are typically sleepier and more comfortable in the gentle, curled poses that parents often love in professional newborn portraits.

For my first-time newborn photography clients, safety is always my highest priority. Every pose, prop, and setup is carefully planned with your baby’s comfort and well-being in mind. I am trained in safe newborn posing techniques and never force a baby into a position that is uncomfortable or unsafe.

Preparing for your newborn photography session is simple. I recommend feeding your baby shortly before the session begins at the studio and dressing them in loose-fitting clothing to prevent marks on their delicate skin. Parents can relax knowing that I allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and cuddling throughout the session. Newborn sessions are baby-led and move at your little one’s pace.

Many parents are surprised by how quickly their baby changes during those first few weeks. Tiny fingers, delicate eyelashes, flaky skin, and sleepy smiles are all details that disappear far too quickly. Professional newborn photography preserves these fleeting moments and transforms them into heirloom artwork that can be enjoyed for generations.

At Little Wonders Portraiture, I love helping first-time parents throughout the Greater Houston area create beautiful memories and lasting keepsakes of their baby’s earliest days.

Houston Newborn Photographer | Blythe’s Newborn Session

As a Houston Newborn Photographer I get to meet all kinds of people I have things in common with. I will say that this session was full of lots of coincidences. Not only was this family from the very town I grew up in but the daddy knew and worked with my sister. It was also a huge coincidence that the mommy’s mother is friends with me on Facebook. That very mother was going to recommend me to her daughter as who she should use as a newborn photographer but didn’t get the chance. Then the daughter had picked me anyway. Wow!

Then on top of that the dad is a minister of the same denomination that I grew up in with my Papa as a minister! These kinds of moments remind me how much I truly love photographing newborns, especially as a photographer working with newborns in Houston.

A Houston Newborn Photographers newborn session with Blythe's family.

Baby Blythe was an absolute dream for her session at 10 days old! She was the best Christmas present to her family…. Yes! She was born on Christmas day. She slept the whole time except briefly when she got hungry. So I managed to grab one awake shot. She was the best Christmas present to her family too…. Yes! She was born on Christmas day.

Blythe’s siblings absolutely adored her. When they weren’t busy playing in my playroom, the Kid Cave, I managed to grab some cute shots. Big brother, at 2 years old, was not much of a challenge at all as most kids that age. He did so extremely well! Additionally, working as a Houston newborn photographer makes moments like these truly special.
