Meet baby Lewis. Lewis made his debut on his big brother's birthday (double birthday party fun!). The proud big brother, Jack, kept us all laughing throughout the session. Congratulations to this sweet family of four. Thank you for choosing me to document these precious moments in your life. xo
If there was one subject I could photograph over and over again, it would be newborns. The snuggles, the new baby smell, the (very sleepy) parents, THE SNUGGLES. I've had the pleasure of photographing a handful of newborns this year and I never get tired of them. I love the challenge of going into a home not knowing the light situation and being able to produce beautiful images. I love the simplicity of a baby in a white onesie. I love the snuggles :)
If you or anyone you know is looking for a newborn photographer, please send them my way! xo
The first question inquiring families ask me is "what if my kids are crazy and don't cooperate during our session?" My quick answer: THAT'S OKAY. Life isn't perfect. Your kids run around and throw tantrums from time-to-time. I'm probably going to take pictures of that. I love those photos. They are real life and the moments you'll want to remember (eventually).
During the session I am sharing below, big sister Allie loved to pick her nose. THAT'S OKAY. Big brother Emmett wasn't really interested in his baby sister and only wanted to play with his toy ball. THAT'S OKAY. Mom and dad were super relaxed and I was able to capture this family perfectly, despite a few boogers and toy balls.
Here are a few quick tips for making your family session perfect:
1. Happy kids are well-rested and have full stomachs. Let's make sure your session works around their nap schedule. If the kids are hungry, we will stop for a snack!
2. Prepare your child for the session by letting them know a friend will be taking their photos. It's best not to surprise them.
3. Relax & go with the flow. If you're relaxed, your kids will relax. Don't stress if someone is picking their nose. Laugh it off :)
