Of course we did Harry Potter newborn photos – once you decide on a Harry Potter Nursery, you have to add the portraits! In fact, I raided the nursery for props as I created these. Allow me to introduce our little Ravenclaw*, Aurora Jean.
I found this perfect trunk at a yard sale and did a little jig of happiness. Perfect! Ready for a train ride to Hogwarts.
The broom was a consignment store find, the cauldron is from a Halloween hot chocolate special, and the owl, Sorting Hat, and textbooks are from Amazon. The potion bottles were a huge project – read more in my nursery post!

Coming soon: Harry Potter Newborn Photos … plus 6 months

Is it physically possible to be cuter than a baby wizard? I don’t think so.
Considering a Harry Potter theme for your own little one’s newborn photos? Let’s chat!
