I guess I have not been a very good blogger recently! My goal is to get a few of my favorite images from each session up here on the blog after each order has been processed, but certain times of the year I am just so busy trying to keep up with my shooting, editing, and previewing schedule that blogging sometimes gets neglected. I’m going to try to be better about that! If you are a past client who would like to see some of your favorites from one of our sessions together posted up here, just send me an email and I will put you on my “to blog” list! For now, I’m going to try and dive into the sessions that have been shot in the past few weeks and get a few favs from each posted pronto!

So let’s start with…Hunter! I had such fun photographing Hunter’s newborn portraits when he came to my studio at 10 days old. He is such a beautiful and mellow baby, his session was actually quite easy. He has been blessed with wonderful parents who I really enjoyed getting to know. I love photographing newborns because not only do I get the honor of holding a new baby for an hour or two, but I also get to meet new people as they are embarking on their journey as parents. Its fun to swap stories, get to know each other, and just relax as the session unfolds. So here a few of my favorite  images from Hunter’s session…

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful little Erin when she was only 8 days old. A lot of people wonder why newborn photographers like to work with the babies when they are so new, so let me shed a little light on that! During the first week or so of life, babies are their sleepiest. And I don’t mean just sleepy, but DEEP asleep. That makes it much easier to pose a baby! Babies that are awake will tend to flail their arms and legs and kick out of most poses. Another reason we like them so early is because most of the time their skin looks great! Those of us who have had newborns before know that baby acne can set it after a few weeks, as well as really flakey skin. So under best circumstances, a newborn session is arranged for before your due date to insure that the window of time that would be best for your baby’s first official portrait session is reserved for them! Because I run a boutique studio, I work with a limited clientele and that gives me the flexibility to move around session dates as need be. Normally, we schedule the session for a date approximately 6 days out from your due date and then adjust as needed based on when your baby actually decides to enter the world! The session itself runs very smoothly. All I need you to do is sit back, relax, keep the baby’s tummy nice and full, and I will handle the rest.
