Once you announce that you are pregnant, the world becomes a bit brighter. The excitement is tangible. There is much to do, yet you find each task fun…right down to choosing the right burp clothes. You decorate the nursery, you ‘nest’, and your family and friends surround you with love. And you start to plan for ‘the big day’. Which for many, is the second biggest day next to your wedding day. The baby’s birthday. And I hope that in all of your planning for your tiny bundle’s big day, you will think about newborn photographs.
My style of newborn photography is timeless…I don’t use any props but rather I prefer to let the sweetness of your baby come through naturally. To focus on the family, the details, the newness of it all…the things that will become a blur in the first few days, but the images will live on forever.
I always do my newborn sessions in 2 parts…just your baby, and then you as a family. I absolutely LOVE that I don’t have to tell new mommies and daddies to smell their baby, touch them, kiss them….that magic happens all on its own, and I am there capturing it all. THAT is the reason for newborn photographs.
This little one was so beautiful. Chunky in all the right places and such a head of hair on her! She slept peacefully for much of her portrait session, and then when it was time to do the lifestyle portion she rested peacefully. Alert, wide eyed, and gorgeous. She was so alert for 5 days old! Mom and Dad were absolutely calm and loving, and the entire session from start to finish was such a joy.
So whether your preference is in the hospital for a Fresh 48 session, or within the first 2 weeks for a newborn session, contact me. I would love to celebrate your baby with you, and preserve those memories.
Enjoy your sneak peek {N} family! But more importantly, enjoy that precious miss {T}. Can’t wait to present the full gallery to you! xo, Jen
