I don’t often get asked to photograph babies at the 2 to 5 month mark, but occasionally parents want photos done at this age. Getting this little guy’s beautiful smile took a bit of work on our part, but his mom helped getting some really beautiful genuine smiles from him, and I patiently posed and set him up in order to get a beautiful variety of photos of him. Babies of all ages need to be celebrated, and that’s exactly what his parents did by bringing him to me.
Having updated photos of your family tells such great stories as the years pass, stories that your kids will continually look back on and enjoy as they look through your photos.
Newborn and baby photography is so much more than just photos. Newborn photos, when taken professionally, capture the essence of a new baby. Their tiny details, how curly they are, how sweet they sleep, what they might have been like in the womb… Photographing these young babies, often in their first week or ten days of birth, is something truly special to me that I wholeheartedly love and celebrate in my heart. Then with every new milestone reached as they become able to sit, pushing themselves up, and have those gorgeous interactions when they’re a few months old are sure to make amazing keepsakes too!
If you’re reading this and are expecting or have your own baby, or someone close to you is, I would LOVE to be considered for your newborn / milestone session photos. Bookings can be done as early as your 20th week of pregnancy, as we only make the final date once your baby is born. Making a tentative date beforehand ensures you can have peace of mind that the session is scheduled, you won’t forget or get lost in all that’s happening close to the birth, and you can ensure that I am available for your date. I hope to hear from you soon! :)
